Subject: Statically linked ruby can't require shared libs?

It appears that (on Windows, anyway) a statically linked ruby.exe can't 
require shared libraries.

Something like this:
  require 'Win32API.so'

causes ruby to crash with a message about trying to execute an illegal 
instruction.

Has anyone else run into this and is there a workaround?
