ruby-1.8.7_p334-as_dir.patch

Right after 'ebuild install' i've noticed dir named '"$as_dir"'

    work/ruby-1.8.7-p334$ ls -1dQ *as_dir*

        "\"$as_dir\""

Patch should be selfexplanatory.

configure snippets:

set var:

    if mkdir -p . 2>/dev/null; then
      as_mkdir_p='mkdir -p "$as_dir"'
    else
      test -d ./-p && rmdir ./-p
      as_mkdir_p=false
    fi

check var (wrong?):

    if $as_mkdir_p; then
      MAKEDIRS='mkdir -p'
    else
      MAKEDIRS='install -d'
    fi


"fixed" as s/$as_mkdir_p/eval $as_mkdir_p/

This only applies to ruby 1.8.7 since ruby 1.9.3 requires mkdir -p to work (and uses a different check). Should be reported upstream. I don't really want to do a revision bump just for this change, so hopefully we'll pick it up in the next upstream revision.

This will be fixed in ruby 1.8.7-p370. Thanks for the report and patch. Not reported upstream since p370 is the last release in the 1.8 series.
