Subject: Ruby for AIX 5.2?

Latest stable ruby, as well as 1.8.1 preview 4, does not build on AIX
5L using gcc (xlc not an option for me right now).

Anyone have manual steps required to compile with gcc on 5.2?  Willing
to use older release of ruby, so long as it builds.

dfelicia --> oslevel -r
5200-02

dfelicia --> gcc --version
gcc (GCC) 3.3.2
