      ...
But escaped single quotes are still ok? That's what was used before

Comment (by Rufflewind):

 Replying to [comment:4 thomie]:
 525856.

 Before 525856, it was invoked like this (contains a double-quote only):

 {{{
 … -e 'config.compiler="$(TEST_HC)"'
 }}}

 Now it's invoked like this (with a double-quote 'and an escaped double-
 quote'):

 {{{
 … -e 'config.compiler="\"$(TEST_HC)\""'
 }}}

 The escaped double-quote is what's tripping up MinGW (an escaped single-
 quote would cause the same problem).
