I have successfully compiled socket.so on AIX 4.3.3 and ruby 1.8.2.
(1) run configure script with '--disable-ipv6'.
(2) add '-eInit_socket' to DLDFLAGS in 'ext/socket/Makefile'.

   ./configure --disable-ipv6
   vi ext/socket/Makefile
   make

A very very simple one liner runs successfully:
   ruby -rsocket -e "p Socket"

But, sorry, I have not test whether it actually works or not.
I don't know how to use it.
