Subject: porting Ruby to an embedded target

Greetings, Rubyists -

I am in the midst of porting the Ruby interpreter to our embedded Intel CE SoC (as used in GoogleTV and Boxee Box), and I would appreciate some knowledgeable help.

Here is my configure script, with e-variables:

# begin shell script
SDK_ROOT=/opt/DHG/target/sdk-perl/IntelCE-21.1.11174.270772; export SDK_ROOT

./configure \
  --prefix=$SDK_ROOT/build_i686/staging_dir \
  --exec-prefix=$SDK_ROOT/build_i686/staging_dir \
  --target=i686 \
  --enable-shared
CC=$SDK_ROOT/build_i686/staging_dir/i686-cm-linux/bin/gcc; export CC
CFLAGS="-O2 -Wall"; export CFLAGS
LDFLAGS=$SDK_ROOT/build_i686/i686-linux-elf/lib; export LDFLAGS
CPPFLAGS=""
CXX=$SDK_ROOT/build_i686/staging_dir/i686-cm-linux/bin/g++; export CXX
# end shell script

Here's the end of the output of make:

ld -o .ext/i686-none/enc/encdb.so enc/encdb.o -L. -L. -L.     -Wl,-R -Wl,/opt/DHG/target/sdk-perl/IntelCE-21.1.11174.270772/build_i686/staging_dir/lib -L/opt/DHG/target/sdk-perl/IntelCE-21.1.11174.270772/build_i686/staging_dir/lib -lruby -lpthread -lrt -ldl -lcrypt -lm  
ld: unrecognized option '-Wl, -R'

I know I need to find system headers and add a -I; which ones and what else is needed?

Thanks in advance!
