Hello,

Working with ruby_1_8_7 branch I managed to completely compile it.

However, I found two issues.

1) I was unable to run tests (make check) for it:

make check
test succeeded
./miniruby.exe -I../../../../ruby/lib -I.ext/common -I./-
-r../../../../ruby/ext/purelib.rb  ../../../../ruby/runruby.rb
--extout=.ext  -- "../../../../ruby/test/runner.rb"
--basedir="../../../../ruby/test" --runner=console

2) Cross compilation fails on dl compilation, while it works on
ruby_1_8 branch, reported in #4094

Thank you.
