Now that I finally have time to work on building Ruby again, it seems to 
work.  Thanks for al the wonderful help!  You folks are great.

Here's the very primitive script that I am using to build Ruby on AIX for 
testing (my next goal is to get it added to the standard image):

#!/usr/bin/ksh -x

VER="ruby-1.8.2"

rm -rf $VER
rm -rf $HOME/ruby/*

tar -xf $VER.tar
cd $VER

cd lib
cp mkmf.rb mkmf.rb.tmp
sed 's/OUTFLAG}\$(DLLIB)/OUTFLAG}$(DLLIB) -eInit_\$(TARGET)/' <mkmf.rb.tmp 
>mkmf.rb
cd ..

./configure --without-gcc --disable-ipv6 --prefix=$HOME/ruby

make            || exit
make test       || exit
make install    || exit
