OK, I have investigated a bit more and it seems that the libs, that I  
added to the build command are unnecessary (and can even cause problems),  
so I removed them. Could you please test the latest version.

Concerning 1.8.4 vs. 1.8.5: builtin_methods_test.rb should now work with  
latest 1.8.5, but rb2cx generally will not, because there have been some  
changes to nodes, e.g.

http://www.ruby-lang.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi//ruby/eval.c.diff?r1=1.616.2.143;r2=1.616.2.144;only_with_tag=ruby_1_8;f=h

I will address all these changes once 1.8.5 is released.

Thanks again,
Dominik
