I’m running Tru64 (osf1) 5.1 on an HP/Compaq/DEC alpha, and the ruby
build 1.8.0 preview3 crashes in ext/socket:

Stop.
I had to install a patch from Minero Aoki just to get this far.
The problem is the line in ext/socket/extconf.rb:
$CPPFLAGS += " -Dss_family=__ss_family -Dss_len=__ss_len"
which my system hates. Comment this line out and everything builds.
But this line is required for other systems, so I propose this fix:
we try_link for HAVE_SOCKADDR_STORAGE without the above line first.
If it doesn’t work, then try again with the line. Maybe this wouldn’t
work on the supported platforms, but can people check it out? I’m not
a ruby source developer, I can’t even get to the ruby cvs tree because
of my company’s firewall.
There is probably a much prettier way to do this, but I don’t have
much experience in write multi-platform builds.

I hope this works for other non-alpha people. That way, maybe
HP/Compaq Alpha can be fully supported by non-modified ruby builds.
