It is exact the problem I reported here:
http://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=12843

As Keith said, I can solve this problem only by revert this change:
------------------------------
if (!*p
|| p[0] == '\t'
- || ((p[0] == ':')
- && ((p[1] == ':') || (strchr (p + 1, ':') == NULL)))
+ || (p[0] == ':')
|| ((p[0] == ' ') && !*is_quote_enclosed))
------------------------------

Then, everything works fine.

@Pierre Muller:
I think adding quotes internally is not quite good. That's from my 
personal point.

there is another issue when locating the absolute the source path if the 
app is build with relative paths. I have a patch to solve them in that 
following discussion.

a simplified patch used on mingw official 7.3 release can be found here:
