You're welcome. Thank you for a new release of Ruby.

I only saw this problem with tcltklib.so. If I understand the documentation
correctly, I think you want -brtl for dynamic libraries in general. (The
documentation also notes that this feature is only supported in
AIX versions 4.2 and later.)

The -brtl flag already shows up in a couple of other places (I think from
a change you made sometime around last December):

....
cc -g -brtl -Wl,-bE:ruby.imp main.o  libruby.a -ldl -lcrypt -lm   -o ruby
....
cc -g -brtl main.o dmyext.o libruby.a -ldl -lcrypt -lm   -o miniruby
