[ruby-core:57018] [Backport93 - Backport #8216] Request of backport of fix for Bug #8169

Issue #8216 has been updated by robertgrimm (Robert Grimm).


Ruby 1.9.3's mkmf.rb generates an incorrect conftest.c with this change and results in a "main is undeclared" error.

As is, 1.9.3 will generate something like:
#include "ruby.h"

The t() function should be defined under main's definition and t() should be declared at the top.  Ruby 2.0.0's mkmf.rb generates something like (which is correct):
#include "ruby.h"
