Subject: [ruby-core:36454] configure is generating broken Makefiles

Hello

I have an issue which is perplexing me.
ext/-test-/string/extconf.rb contains this line:
$defs << "-DTEST_INIT_FUNCS(X)=\"#{inits.join(' ')}\""

however after running make ext/-test-/string/Makefile *does not* contain 
-DTEST_INIT_FUNCS

Why not?

On my fork [1] this line *is* appearing in the Makefile, which is then 
breaking because the parenthesis need to be escaped. I have identified 
the commit that broke this [2], but I cannot see how it could be related.

Possibly related, I also need to explictly set top_srcdir [3] otherwise 
a number of projects in ext fail to compile (such as 
./ext/-test-/funcall/) because top_srcdir is otherwise blank and causes 
invalid paths.

This is a problem because I can't install my fork with rvm until I 
figure this issue out, meaning I can't easily get others to test out the 
new require performance fixes.

Any assistance gratefully appreciated.

Thanks,
Xavier
