Backport of #12892.
After the recent patch to CCompiler.spawn, the file-paths no longer need manual quoting - that's handled as needed within subprocess.
This also states our assumption that our paths do not contain commas.
If we care about this, we could adopt the approach used by rust-lang/rust#38795.
Tested for gcc locally by looking at the error messages of
subprocess.check_call(["gcc", r'-Wl,spaces and no quotes'])
Other fortran compiler changes not tested, but assumed to be broken in the same way.
Fixes #12882
