 This is a 1.5, no ?

 Which sub-version ? In my version, I have in rbconfig.rb

  CONFIG.each{|k,v| MAKEFILE_CONFIG[k] = v.dup}
  def Config::expand(val)
    val.gsub!(/\$\(([^()]+)\)/) do |var|
      key = $1
      if CONFIG.key? key
        "#{Config::expand(CONFIG[\"#{key}\"])}"
      else
        var
#^^^^^^^^^^
# Here the problem va`R' and not va`L'
#
      end
    end
    val
  end
  CONFIG.each_value do |val|
    Config::expand(val)
  end


 The value of MAKEFILE_CONFIG and CONFIG are not expanded 

 More now  mkmf.rb use Config::MAKEFILE_CONFIG in 1.5, rather than CONFIG
 (in 1.4)
