I finally go a chance to finish tracking this down. It appears that if
the path to your proto area is sized just so, the ruby build will
generate a config.status that has
S["CFLAGS"]="....."\
""
in it. later in the ruby build, ruby appears to generate rbconfig.rb
using a combination of their tools and config.status. The continued
line "" in config.status appears to confuse their parser causing an
invalid rbconfig.rb to be generated. Since they use rbconfig.rb for the
rest of their build, it goes horribly wrong. I'm not a ruby god, so it
will probably take me a little bit to generate a fix. In the meantime,
you can workaround this (if you run into it) by making your workspace
pathname shorter or longer.
For any ruby gods that want to lend me a clue, the command that
generates rbconfig.rb is
$ ./miniruby -I./lib -I.ext/common -I./- -r./ext/purelib.rb
./ext/extmk.rb --make="/usr/ccs/bin/make" --dest-dir=""
--extout=".ext" --mflags="" --make-flags="" --extension --extstatic --
