this is due to threading issues on windows i think.  i've successfully
compiled ruby, gsl, narray, and rb-gsl using this approach now.  the gsl
binaries are here now

   http://codeforpeople.com/lib/ruby/
   http://codeforpeople.com/lib/ruby/rb-gsl-win/

so far i haven't had any issue.

i plan to write this up soon.  i'll test webrick on my platform soon.

regards.
