 I have confirmed myself that the bug still exist. The buggy part is not 
 pkgsrc but the GNU configure scripts.
 
 #! /bin/sh
 
 printargs() {
 	for i in "$@"; do
 		echo "<$i>"
 	done
 }
 
 cppflags=-Dulong\ long
 cc="printargs"
 
 ac_cpp='$cc $cppflags'
 
 eval $ac_cpp
 # eval "$ac_cpp" would not make a difference
 
 
 This pattern occurs very often in GNU configure scripts. I don't know 
 yet how we can fix it.
