Subject: ruby autoconf problems

Hello

I noticed problems building ruby on OS X after changing from autoconf
2.60 to 2.61.

As I patch the configure script to name the libruby the way I want,
and build extensions with the linker flags I want, I regenerate the
configure each time.

It appears the shipped configure is pregenerated with an older
autoconf but generating with a newer one breaks the build.

For me  the doubly quoted LIBPATHFLAG=' -L"%s"' receives additional
quoting with the new autoconf.


I suspect this is because the variable is not really expanded by
autoconf but is ripped from an autoconf-internal config.status by a
script to make rbconfig.rb, and the format of this file changed.


Thanks

Michal
