Subject: Ruby won't build on Jaguar

I  know just enough about GNU make to wonder why anyone uses it instead 
of Jam, http://www.perforce.com/jam/jam.html. So with Ruby not building 
on the Jaguar, I'm in deep. Here is what make says:

[dslstat-bvi1-177:~/ruby-1.6.7] chrisg% make
gcc -g -O2 -pipe -no-precomp -I. -I. -I/usr/local/include -c array.c
gcc: unrecognized option `-no-precomp'
gcc -g -O2 -pipe -no-precomp -I. -I. -I/usr/local/include -c bignum.c
gcc: unrecognized option `-no-precomp'
gcc -g -O2 -pipe -no-precomp -I. -I. -I/usr/local/include -c class.c
gcc: unrecognized option `-no-precomp'
gcc -g -O2 -pipe -no-precomp -I. -I. -I/usr/local/include -c compar.c
gcc: unrecognized option `-no-precomp'
gcc -g -O2 -pipe -no-precomp -I. -I. -I/usr/local/include -c dir.c

gcc -g -O2 -pipe -no-precomp -I. -I. -I/usr/local/include -c dln.c
gcc: unrecognized option `-no-precomp'
gcc -g -O2 -pipe -no-precomp -I. -I. -I/usr/local/include -c enum.c
gcc: unrecognized option `-no-precomp'
gcc -g -O2 -pipe -no-precomp -I. -I. -I/usr/local/include -c error.c
gcc: unrecognized option `-no-precomp'
error.c:472: conflicting types for `sys_nerr'
/usr/include/stdio.h:265: previous declaration of `sys_nerr'
make: *** [error.o] Error 1

gcc jumped to version 3.1 on Jaguar if that's any help. I hope some 
knowledgeable person sees an easy fix.
TIA
