Details:

The pspp perl module can fail to build on systems where perl's ld config value
contains multiple words. Here is a build failure on PowerPC Mac OS X Leopard:

https://build.macports.org/builders/ports-10.5_ppc_legacy-builder/builds/86402/steps/install-port/logs/stdio


'env MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET=10.3 /usr/bin/gcc-4.2'  -L/opt/local/lib
-Wl,-headerpad_max_install_names -arch ppc  -bundle -undefined dynamic_lookup
-L/opt/local/lib -Wl,-headerpad_max_install_names  -fstack-protector PSPP.o 
-o blib/arch/auto/PSPP/PSPP.bundle
/opt/local/var/macports/build/_opt_bblocal_var_buildworker_ports_build_ports_math_pspp-devel/pspp-devel/work/pspp-1.2.0-ga8799b/src/.libs/libpspp-core.dylib
\
              \
          
make[4]: env MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET=10.3 /usr/bin/gcc-4.2: Command not
found
make[4]: *** [blib/arch/auto/PSPP/PSPP.bundle] Error 127


The reason for the problem is that on this system, perl has determined that
the value of ld should be multiple words, and the pspp perl module determines
the perl value of ld by running $(PERL) -V::ld:, which apparently returns the
raw value from the config, including quotation marks if any, which is then
interpreted by the build as the name of a single command that should be run,
which of course doesn't exist. I was able to fix the problem by using
Config::Perl::V directly, which gets the value inside the quotation marks. See
attached patch.
