OK, the problem is that g++ requires you to declare enum's before
using them and 1.8.6-p36 added some declarations to intern.h that use
an enum defined in node.h .  Everything works OK (as far as I can
tell) if I patch intern.h to #include node.h .  (Patch supplied at the
end.)

Is there any way to work around this without patching Ruby?  I can't
find one so far.
