The ruby build fails with studio but passes with with gcc.  It's an
issue of the (somewhat nasty) way that Makefiles are generated for
some of the extensions (without auto*).  These are done on the fly, so
it wasn't a simple post-configure step.  It ends up passing flags to
ld that ld doesn't like.  I wasn't able to nail it down, but didn't
fight it too hard, either.
