It seems the problem was that my sources didn't have their proper timestamps. I worked around this by adding this step *prior* to running configure && make && make install This "fixes" the timestamps for the files that would require ruby to be pre-installed. It also prevents autotools from trying to run again. touch \ .revision.time \ ChangeLog \ configure \ enc/trans/big5.c \ enc/trans/chinese.c \ enc/trans/escape.c \ enc/trans/gb18030.c \ enc/trans/gbk.c \ enc/trans/iso2022.c \ enc/trans/japanese.c \ enc/trans/japanese_euc.c \ enc/trans/japanese_sjis.c \ enc/trans/korean.c \ enc/trans/newline.c \ enc/trans/single_byte.c \ enc/trans/utf_16_32.c \ encdb.h \ ext/ripper/eventids1.c \ ext/ripper/eventids2table.c \ ext/ripper/ripper.c \ ext/ripper/ripper.y \ ext/ripper/y.output \ golf_prelude.c \ insns.inc \ insns_info.inc \ known_errors.inc \ lex.c \ miniprelude.c \ newline.c \ node_name.inc \ opt_sc.inc \ optinsn.inc \ optunifs.inc \ parse.c \ parse.h \ revision.h \ string.c \ transdb.h \ version.h \ vm.inc \ vmtc.inc ---------------------------------------- http://redmine.ruby-lang.org/issues/show/3008 ---------------------------------------- http://redmine.ruby-lang.org
