Here's a patch for my earlier hanging. I can't say for sure this works, as
I'm not so familiar with Ruby internals, especially feature loading. If it
does it's due to Yashi's help. If it doesn't all the blame is on me.  

(Actually the version in next example is 1.6.1, but I had to tweak version.h
because rbconfig.rb didn't run nicely when building.)

  ~/src/ruby/ruby -v a.rb 
  ruby 1.6.0 (2000-09-24) [i686-linux]
  ./b.rb:1: undefined local variable or method `foo' for 
        #<Object:0x40187d08> (NameError)
        from ./b_ext.rb:1:in `require'
        from ./b_ext.rb:1
        from a.rb:1:in `require'
        from a.rb:1
