Summary:                    Ruby fails to build
Description: 

Ruby fails to build with:

---
make -j1 -C /home/mcgrof/devel/buildroot/trunk/build_i686/ruby-1.8.2
make[1]: Entering directory
`/home/mcgrof/devel/buildroot/trunk/build_i686/ruby-1.8.2'
ruby: /home/mcgrof/devel/buildroot/trunk/build_i686/ruby-1.8.2/fake.rb:12:
unterminated string meets end of file (SyntaxError)
/home/mcgrof/devel/buildroot/trunk/build_i686/ruby-1.8.2/fake.rb:12:

make: *** [/home/mcgrof/devel/buildroot/trunk/build_i686/ruby-1.8.2/ruby]
Error 2

The problem is not fake.rb, but instead in the initial build process. For
example, I do not think config.status should yield entries such as:

---
cat >"$tmp/subs-1.sed" <<\CEOF
/@[a-zA-Z_][a-zA-Z_0-9]*@/!b
s, at SHELL@,|#_!!_#|/bin/bash,g
s, at PATH_SEPARATOR@,|#_!!_#|:,g
s, at PACKAGE_NAME@,|#_!!_#|,g

s, at bindir@,|#_!!_#|/usr/bin,g
s, at sbindir@,|#_!!_#|/usr/sbin,g

And since this file is generated by configure I'll blame it on configure.
Haven't yet pinpointed the problem yet.
