Yes. There are big changes going on over there right now I think. 

A quick (and dirty) workaround I found was:

  * change yarv/lib/mkmf.rb, line 1136, "files.flatten.each |f|"

  * Run make with -i(gnore errors) switch:

	make -i 
	make -i install
	
  * Manually copy ruby-yarv (or whatever) binary to target bin dir.

This is nasty stuff, but the result does seem to work quite well,
although it might be missing a few standard libraries... The actual
problem seemed tantalisingly close at one point but with it being 4am I
gave up.

(This was with the SVN trunk, which I think is the same as the latest
snapshot, r475, though I had the same problem on the 0.4.0 version too).
