[ruby-core:87491] [Ruby trunk Bug#13284] IA64 ruby 2.4 miniruby segfault

Issue #13284 has been updated by knedlsepp (Josef Kemetm端ller).


I tried a few suggestions, which did not work out for me:
- Configure with --with-setjmp-type=_setjmp
- Compile using -O0 -fno-omit-frame-pointer -fno-stack-protector

What finally worked for me was to run the build without stack limits: `ulimit -s unlimited`.
