Wait a minute - are you building against the latest in CVS?  Because I'm 
hitting the same issue because "isinf" isn't linked in properly.  However, if 
you're building against 1.8.4 stable (release 12-24-2005), you shouldn't hit this.

Is this what you're seeing?

gcc -Wall main.o  libruby-static.a -ldl -lcrypt -lm   -o miniruby -g -O2 
-DRUBY_EXPORT
Undefined                       first referenced
  symbol                             in file
isinf                               libruby-static.a(marshal.o)
ld: fatal: Symbol referencing errors. No output written to miniruby
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
*** Error code 1
make: Fatal error: Command failed for target `miniruby'
