download glimpse.  it is _awesome_ for searching large bodies of code like
ruby

/usr/local/ruby-1.6.6 > glimpse -n -H ./ '^rb_funcall'

Your query may search about 25% of the total space! Continue? (y/n)y

../eval.c: 4630: rb_funcall(VALUE recv, ID mid, int n, ...)
../eval.c: 4632: rb_funcall(recv, mid, n, va_alist)
../eval.c: 4661: rb_funcall2(recv, mid, argc, argv)
../eval.c: 4671: rb_funcall3(recv, mid, argc, argv)

....looks like it is in eval.c
