I've also had the same problem as you, so I suspect it affects
everyone on intel-OS X. As a workaround I am currently running
ruby18-base-1.8.6.111 and ruby-1.8.6.111 which were the last versions
to successfully build (ask me off list if you want binaries of
these). However:

Package ruby18-base-1.8.6.111 has a access-validation-bypass
vulnerability, see:
http://preview.ruby-lang.org/en/news/2008/03/03/webrick-file-access-vulnerabilit

So if you do run with 1.8.6.111 as I do make sure you don't use
webrick as your web server.

Cheers,
