[ruby-core:103605] [Ruby master Bug#9010] ./configure --prefix= cannot handle directories with spaces

Issue #9010 has been updated by jeremyevans0 (Jeremy Evans).


This appears to still be an issue in the master branch.  It appears to be first hit when linking extensions (example uses `--prefix="/home/jeremy/local foo bar"`):

```
cc -shared -fPIC -o ../../../.ext/x86_64-openbsd6.9/-test-/RUBY_ALIGNOF.so c.o -L. -L../../.. -L. -L/usr/local/lib -fstack-protector-strong -Wl,-E -L/usr/local/lib    -Wl,-rpath,/home/jeremy/local foo bar/lib -L/home/jeremy/local foo bar/lib -lruby  -lm   -lc
```

Seems like quoting the `-Wl,-rpath,` and `-L` arguments may fix this particular case, but I'm not sure if that will cause other problems.

Steps to Reproduce:

1. ./configure --prefix="$HOME/foo bar"
2. make

Expected Result: success
