So, that was my first interpretation of the error message, but it
does seem to be the case that Dumstr.so is being found and a call
within Dumstr to libruby.so is causing the error.  My first evidence:

% mv Dumstr.so HIDE.Dumstr.so
% ruby167 dumstr.rb
dumstr.rb:3:in `require': No such file to load -- Dumstr (LoadError)
        from dumstr.rb:3

Second evidence, relink Dumstr.so without -lruby:

% make --makefile=Makefile.1.6.7
gcc -shared  -L/fs37/home.directory.6/jgray/pkgs/ruby/ruby-1.6.7/lib \
  -o Dumstr.so dumstr.o rb_dumstr.o  -lc 

% ruby167 dumstr.rb
dumstr.rb:3:in `require': libgcc_s.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No
such file or directory - ./Dumstr.so (LoadError)
        from dumstr.rb:3
