The basic issue here seems to me that "missing/vsnprintf.c" is being  
included even though snprintf() & vsnprintf() exist, and there is INHO an  
ugly kludge to get this to work. The "proper" Ruby way should be to change  
all calls to snprintf() & vsnprintf() to rb_snprintf() & rb_vsnprintf() if  
there is a "permanent" Ruby replacement for them. This wouldn't cause this  
compiler problem.
But why do thay need replacing in Linux in the first place?
