Yes.. space in pathname also causes that 'ambiquous redirect'. 

Please use a directory which absolute path does not contain spaces (nor
tabs nor newline ;/) -- it would be quite a big project to make test
suite work with whitespace in filename and still something might broke
so it is not worth an effort.

Probably not all tests will succeed anyway, but if you get relevant
tests to work then that should be good enough...

yes, there is just one (1) test in the whole suite (last one in T000-basic)
that uses readelf.
