That advice can apply only after gcc is installed -- anyway I finally
slogged through that and seem to have a functioning ruby interpreter.
I'd given up on building gcc from source after a lot of frustration.
Here's what worked:

1. get and compile GNU sed, put it in /usr/local/bin, put
/usr/local/bin: at front of PATH.

2. get binaries of GNU binutils and gcc from hpux.cs.utah.edu, install
them in /opt, put /opt/binutils/bin:/opt/gcc/bin: at front of PATH.

3. put symlinks in /opt/binutils/bin:
     libbfd-2.9.1.sl.0     -> libbfd-2.9.1.sl.0.0
     libopcodes-2.9.1.sl.0 -> libopcodes-2.9.1.sl.0.0

4. ./configure ruby 1.6.2.

5. try 'make', but it dies with:
         gcc -g -O2 -Wl,-E main.o dmyext.o libruby.a -ldld -lcrypt -lm  
-o miniruby
*** Termination signal 139

6. edit Makefile, set CFLAGS=-O, same result; try again with no
optimizations, successful build.
