Subject: Building Ruby 1.8 preview 3

Folks,

I'm trying to build 1.8p3 on Cygwin, and failing for a rather
unsatisfactory reason.  It creates miniruby OK, but fails on the next step
with the following error (hand typed):

  Creating library file: libcygwin-ruby18.dll.a
  ./ext/extmk.rb:28:in `require': No such file to load -- mkmf (LoadError)
          from ./ext/extmk.rb:28
  make: *** [all] Error 1

The output of (./miniruby -e 'puts $:') is
  /home/gavin/build/ruby-1.8.0/lib/ruby/...

where ... = 1.8, site_ruby, and the normal subdirs.

./lib/ruby doesn't exist; all the libs are in ./lib.

Am I doing something wrong?

Regards,
Gavin
