Make breaks when current path contains parenthsis

[Pysis868]

Not sure where the problem originates. Here? Libass' Makefile? GNU Make?
Of course posting to help progress towards a more permanent and robust code-based solution.

Did some brief investigation searching; not sure how related:

https://mpv.io/installation/
"Using git master is recommended."
......
"Linux packages

Distributions usually package outdated, unmaintained, and unsupported versions of mpv. This is especially true for popular distros like Debian and Ubuntu. You are recommended to use mpv-build or third-party packages instead."

Using Fedora Linux 36. Had investigated building my own copy of ffmpeg before and installed the binaries, must have along with some libraries too that did not contribute to the system's upgrade from 35 well.
Uninstalled those, reinstalled the main repo package for that tool, after a restart mpv is opening for me again!

This looks like a problem with libass's Makefile.in script, which would make it an upstream bug. Might be a bug in Automake though.
