I don't know anything about Ruby and not much about the inner
workings of configure, but it appears that the ruby version is being
checked at line 881 of vim71/src/configure.in:
if $vi_cv_path_ruby -e '(VERSION rescue RUBY_VERSION) >= "1.6.0" or exit 1'
>/dev/null 2>/dev/null; then
where I think $vi_cv_path_ruby is "/usr/bin/ruby". That doesn't
tell me anything other than that the version is not being determined
by executing "ruby --version", but maybe it tells you something
useful.
