[[e-mail] (ray linn)]

when compiled the ext packages under mingw64 + MSYS, mkmf reports error like this:

"gcc -o conftest -Ic:/ruby64/include/ruby-1.9.1/x64-mingw32 -Ic:/ruby64/include/ruby-1.9.1/ruby/backward -Ic:/ruby64/include/ruby-1.9.1 -I. -I./.. -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 -O2 -finline-functions -I/usr/local/include -D__USE_MINGW_ANSI_STDIO -IC:/msys/1.0/local/include
conftest.c -L. -Lc:/ruby64/lib -L. -L/usr/local/lib -LC:/msys/1.0/local/lib -lssl -lcrypto
-lx64-msvcrt-ruby191 -lshell32 -lws2_32 -limagehlp "
gcc: fatal error: no input files
compilation terminated.

the root cause is several enter characters are added in this compile command, these enters are from the pkg_config in mkmf.rb, add chomp in the following line in pkg_config function, issue is fixed.

cflags = get['cflags']
ldflags = get['libs']
libs = get['libs-only-l']

as
cflags = get['cflags'].chomp
ldflags = get['libs'].chomp
libs = get['libs-only-l'].chomp

the attached is mkmf.log before/after the change.
