Subject: Re: Ruby for AIX 5.2?

Luke's changes work, plus one more (which he sent me in a mail):

Add -liconv to DLDFLAGS in ext/iconv/Makefile.

Without that flag, you will get (with -bnoquiet):

ld: 0711-318 ERROR: Undefined symbols were found.
        The following symbols are in error:

Thanks for the work-arounds, Luke!
