Description

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'
