Subject: How to build a distributable Solaris binary for Ruby 1.8?

Hello all:

I apologize if I have missed any other posts that addressed this. 

For our company's internal use I have always used the GCC compiler and
followed the simple instructions in the README.TXT for compiling Ruby
1.8 in Solaris as well as in Linux. Now I need to run Ruby code in one
of our customer's place and the Information Security guys there are so
paranoid they are making a big fuss about installing GCC in their
boxes. I know SunFreeware has a 1.6.7 binary but I need 1.8.

Instead of fighting with them, is there any way I can compile Ruby 1.8
in our Sun boxes to create a build I can take and and install in the
customer's Solaris box?

I appreicate your help.

Thanks and Best Regards,
Venkat.
