[ruby-talk:8114] Re: Ruby 1.6.2

As always, thanks for the latest and greatest Ruby.

For AIX 4.3, Ruby 1.6.2 built fine. 

However I encountered problems trying to build Ruby 1.6.2 under AIX5L on 
the IA64 platform. (FWIW, before trying to build Ruby 1.6.2, I was able to 
build glib and GTK+ and run the helloworld.c demo with no problems.)
