I'm getting this trying to build Ruby on ppc linux with gcc 3.3.4.

&nbsp;&nbsp;ppc-pld-linux-gcc -O2 -fsigned-char -fPIC -rdynamic main.o dmyext.o  
&nbsp;&nbsp;libruby-static.a -lpthread -ldl -lcrypt -lm -o miniruby  
&nbsp;&nbsp;[BUG] unknown node type 0  
&nbsp;&nbsp;ruby 1.8.2 (2004-07-29) [powerpc-linux]

&nbsp;&nbsp;make: \*\*\* [rbconfig.rb] Aborted  
&nbsp;&nbsp;error: Bad exit status from /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.60626 (%build)

Any ideas?
