Subject: [ruby-core:115372] [Ruby master Bug#9010] ./configure --prefix= cannot handle directories with spaces

Issue #9010 has been updated by fcheung (Frederick Cheung).


Still happening on master as b1f345b1 when building on macos:
```
../configure --prefix="${HOME}/dir with space/.rubies/ruby-master"
make install
```

produces

```
...
linking shared-library libruby.3.3.dylib
clang: error: no such file or directory: 'with'
clang: error: no such file or directory: 'space/.rubies/ruby-master/lib/libruby.3.3.dylib'
make: *** [libruby.3.3.dylib] Error 1
```

----------------------------------------
It appears that the linking task fails when the --prefix value contains spaces.

Steps to Reproduce:

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

Expected Result: success
Actual Result:

make[2]: Entering directory `/home/hal/src/ruby-2.0.0-p247'
linking ruby
gcc: error: bar/lib: No such file or directory
gcc: error: bar/lib: No such file or directory
make[2]: *** [ruby] Error 1
make[2]: Leaving directory `/home/hal/src/ruby-2.0.0-p247'
make[1]: *** [all] Error 2
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/hal/src/ruby-2.0.0-p247'
make: *** [build-ext] Error 2
