This part seems to be relevant:

have_type: checking for socklen_t... -------------------- no

"gcc -I../.. -I../../../ruby_1_8 -I../../../ruby_1_8/ext/socket -I.
-g -O2    -c conftest.c"
conftest.c:5: error: expected '=', ',', ';', 'asm' or '__attribute__'
before 'conftest_type'
conftest.c:6: error: expected '=', ',', ';', 'asm' or '__attribute__'
before 'conftestval'
checked program was:
/* begin */
1: #include <windows.h>
2: #include <winsock.h>
3:
4: /*top*/
5: typedef socklen_t conftest_type;
6: static conftest_type conftestval[sizeof(conftest_type)?1:-1];
/* end */

Thanks!
