Using spaces in prefix path should work now. There was some serious revamp of the build system during the last couple of months. I didn't have all the details, but some relevant pull requests for Rakudo have probably been:
* https://github.com/rakudo/rakudo/pull/2693
* https://github.com/rakudo/rakudo/pull/3031

Also:

  $ cd ~/perl6/tmp/dir\ with\ space/
  $ mkdir perl6
  $ git clone https://github.com/rakudo/rakudo.git
  $ cd rakudo
  $ perl Configure.pl --backends=moar --gen-nqp --gen-moar --prefix ~/perl6/tmp/dir\ with\ space/perl6 && make install
  $ ~/perl6/tmp/dir\ with\ space/perl6/bin/perl6 -e 'say 42'
  42

I'm closing this ticket as 'resolved'.
