Hi Ben.
Thank you so much for your contact:) Ok. The ./configure Script from Version 1.6x works now by simple typing
./configure --host=i386 -pe -skyos --build=i386 -pe - skyos. Also i had to change the config.sub first line #! /bin/sh  in  #! /boot/programs
The Version 1.8.x don't work with this call. So I have now the makefile from 1.6.x but this makes me confused. A lot of warnings and no really plan about this Linux like "make".
Theres a line in the (skyos) STDDEF.H ::    typedef __SIZE_TYPE__ size_t; -> this makes trouble...
And in the (skyos) types.h  line 67 and 68 ::    typedef unsigned short uid_t;
                                                                     typedef unsigned short gid_t;

This Types are in the (Ruby) config.h ::   #define uid_t int
                                                            #define gid_t int
                                                            #define size_t unsigned

But if I change it to #define uid_t unsigned short and #define gid_t unsigned short and run make again it takes no effect!
confused! really confused;)
