Yes completely possible. But that is what I am saying matz wants to 
avoid. Currently if there is a bug three main questions are asked,
"what version of ruby, what os and what architecture". Those questions
would then be added to if it's a compile time option "what flags where 
used, what versions of the libraries, what optimisations were compiled
in", and so on, and very quickly it becomes an exponential problem to
solve in terms of inital complexity, personaly i'd rather matx worked on 
implementing new and useful stuff rather than tracking down some conrer 
case that only occurs on alpha archtecture under unix with library 
version x and so on. But once again, just my 2 pence,

Regards,

Chris
