Can Ruby be compiled against uclibc?

Hi!

I am trying to target an ARM based system that will have limited
resources. The primary reason why I want to use uclibc instead of gcc is
because of the size reduction.
Does anybody have any kind of idea how could I accomplish this task?
Just for practice and to see what possible problems could arise I tried
to compile Ruby against i386-uclibc-linux.
The output became quite tragic.

Yes ... the "buildroot" toolset used by Gumstix and others has Ruby in
it. I think there are other ways to do it. There may be some code of
mine for the Gumstix on Rubyforge in the "roast" project. I haven't
touched it in months, but I think what was there worked and built Ruby.

Ahm.. Maybe it is a little bit too late but I am afraid I didn't get
what you have just now said. What projects and what is that buildroot?
pls give me some detailed hints. Thx...
