You could try the mingw ruby version.  Then at least you have the 
compiler.
Should it fail there then...unfortunately you'll probably have to hack 
around in the C and try and figure out what is going on.
It might be a ruby bug, might be a VC6 bug.
you could try cygwin, too.
Also could file a bug report on http://redmine.ruby-lang.org/
Cheers!
