Subject: [ruby-core:28236] [Bug #2750] build fails on win32/MinGW: "executable host ruby is required." even when --with-baseruby is used

Issue #2750 has been updated by Christian Bodt.


Yes, I agree it's an msys or runtime library issue.
The following program shows the consequences on the RUBYOPT variable:
____________   
#include <stdio.h>

int main(int argc, char**argv)
{
        printf("%s", getenv("RUBYOPT"));
}
_____________
>gcc main.c
>RUBYOPT=- a.exe
-C:/Programs/msys1.0/r
>RUBYOPT=ABC a.exe
ABC
_____________

Note: It doesn't seem to happen when current directory in top level or first level.

Thanks a lot,
Christian
