Ruby won't build on Jaguar

I know just enough about GNU make to wonder why anyone uses it instead
of Jam, http://www.perforce.com/jam/jam.html. So with Ruby not building

···

on the Jaguar, I’m in deep. Here is what make says:

[dslstat-bvi1-177:~/ruby-1.6.7] chrisg% make
gcc -g -O2 -pipe -no-precomp -I. -I. -I/usr/local/include -c array.c
gcc: unrecognized option -no-precomp' gcc -g -O2 -pipe -no-precomp -I. -I. -I/usr/local/include -c bignum.c gcc: unrecognized option-no-precomp’

error.c:472: conflicting types for sys_nerr' /usr/include/stdio.h:265: previous declaration ofsys_nerr’
make: *** [error.o] Error 1

gcc jumped to version 3.1 on Jaguar if that’s any help. I hope some
knowledgeable person sees an easy fix.
TIA

Isn’t 1.6.7 in Jaguar already?

on the Jaguar, I’m in deep. Here is what make says:

[…]

error.c:472: conflicting types for sys_nerr' /usr/include/stdio.h:265: previous declaration ofsys_nerr’
make: *** [error.o] Error 1

Darwin 6.x declares sys_nerr (Darwin 5.x did not). As a workaround, you
can open error.c and comment out the declaration of sys_nerr. The
extremely simple real fix (which is in 1.7) is to conditionalize
sys_nerr based on a configure test.

Perhaps someone with more time than I have could backport the fix to
the 1.6 branch.

Yes, but statically compiled w/out a shared library for the interpreter.

This is needed by Chris’s OS X IDE work and RubyCocoa.
