>Description:
The "configure" script of "mutt" invokes "gcc" like this:

configure:7953: gcc -o conftest -Wall -pedantic -I/usr/pkg/include -O2 -I/usr/pkg/include   -I/usr/pkg/include -I/usr/pkg/include -I$(top_srcdir)/intl -L/usr/pkg/lib -L/usr/pkg/lib  -s -Wl,-R/usr/pkg/lib -L/usr/pkg/lib -L/usr/pkg/lib conftest.c -lsocket -lnsl  -L/usr/pkgsrc/mail/mutt/work/.buildlink/lib -Wl,-R/usr/pkg/lib -lintl 1>&5

This call is of course bogus because "-I$(top_srcdir)/intl" wasn't replaced
properly. But before "buildlink2" was added to "pkgsrc" this worked
nevertheless because "gcc" just ignored the bougs "-I" argument. With
"buildlink2" however the wrapper shell script for "gcc" fails:

top_srcdir: not found

As the result the "configure" script makes many incorrect assumptions e.g.
that "wctype.h" is missing.

>How-To-Repeat:
cd /usr/pkgsrc/mail/mutt
make configure

>Fix:
Add proper quoting to the buildlink2 wrapper scripts.
