 Yes, this is this case

  static version of ruby

pigeon% ldd ruby
        not a dynamic executable
pigeon% 


 ruby has registered "tk"

pigeon% ./ruby -e 'p $"'
["curses", "dbm", "digest", "dl", "etc", "fcntl", "gdbm", "iconv", "nkf",
"pty", "readline", "sdbm", "socket", "stringio", "strscan", "syslog",
"tcltklib", "tk", "digest/md5", "digest/rmd160", "digest/sha1",
"digest/sha2", "racc/cparse"] 
pigeon% 

 but it try to load 'tkutil.so'

pigeon% ./ruby -rtk -e 1
/home/ts/local/r17/lib/ruby/1.7/tk.rb:8:in `require': No such file to load -- tkutil (LoadError)
        from /home/ts/local/r17/lib/ruby/1.7/tk.rb:8
pigeon% 

 it has generated

        Init_tkutil();
        rb_provide("tk");

 I have not yet understood this case, where, apparently, the user request
 for an extension but ruby try to load another extension
