signalstack error seems because of the lack of OpenBSD specific setting.
see thread_pthread.c:506 and edit it.

A patch should be for portable and for configure.in.

What is LIBruby19_VERSION?

On *BSD/Mac OS X includes version to arch.
It seems independent from API/ABI compatibility.

Why this fixes the problem?
We can't merge this without understanding.

Merged in r32707.

Hmm, I don't know about it.

> 2 failures appear to be caused by using GNU make syntax in the makefiles.  On 1.9.2, BSD make was able to work with the makefiles, but starting on 1.9.3, it appears GNU make is required.  Either makefiles should use not use GNU extensions or ruby should use gmake instead of make on BSD systems.

It's strange because on FreeBSD and NetBSD, BSD make works correctly.

Feature #5097: Supported platforms of Ruby 1.9.3

Author: Yui NARUSE
Status: Assigned
Priority: Normal

Target version: 1.9.3


Let's decide the supported platforms.

== Background

http://redmine.ruby-lang.org/projects/ruby-19/wiki/SupportedPlatforms

== Process

If you want to support a platform, please declare.
But when a platform dependent bug is reported, it will be assigned to you.

== Current Maintainer

mswin32, mswin64 (Microsoft Windows):
  NAKAMURA Usaku (usa)
mingw32 (Minimalist GNU for Windows):
  Nobuyoshi Nakada (nobu)
IA-64 (Debian GNU/Linux):
  TAKANO Mitsuhiro (takano32)
Symbian OS:
  Alexander Zavorine (azov)
AIX:
  Yutaka Kanemoto (kanemoto)
FreeBSD:
  Akinori MUSHA (knu)
Solaris:
  Naohisa Goto
RHEL, CentOS
  KOSAKI Motohiro

Platforms which doesn't have a maintainer are following:
* Debian
* Ubuntu
* Mac OS X (LLVM related issues)
* cygwin (don't work)
* NetBSD (works)
* OpenBSD (it may not work)
* DragonFlyBSD (don't work)
