I am on UnixWare 7 Definitive  I set these enviroment variables and 
export them.

CONFIG_SHELL=/bin/ksh
WRAPPER_SHELL=/bin/ksh

I see during

./bootstrap --full --prefer-pkgsrc=yes

The shell is changed to

#!/usr/pkg/bin/mksh

I know that on UnixWare 7 the /bin/sh has many deficiencies resulting in
syntax errors.  Here is an example

UX:sh (./src/inline.sh): ERROR: ./src/inline.sh: Syntax error at line 
26: `byte_vals=$' unexpected

On every file I edit the first line and change it from sh to ksh and the 
the systax errors are resolved.

Another issue (Not sure it is realted for ruby the configure is getting

/home/build/pkgsrc_build/lang/ruby27-base/work/ruby-2.7.5/

configure Issues

checking for size_t... no configure: error: size_t is signed

But in sys/types.h says "typedef unsigned int size_t"

The configure tests failing with the following
conftest.c: In function 'main': conftest.c:201:30: error: expected 
expression before ')' token if (sizeof ((struct timezone)))
...
configure:18926: gcc -c -DUNIXWARE -O2 -I/usr/pkg/include/db4 
-D_REENTRANT -I/usr/include -I/usr/pkg/include -DUNIXWARE 
-I/usr/pkg/include/db4 -D_REENTRANT -I/usr/include -I/usr/pkg/include 
conftest.c >&5 conftest.c: In function 'main': conftest.c:211:21: error: 
expected expression before ')' token if (sizeof ((size_t))) ^

I would like to do the same thing bootstrap does.  Changing the first 
line to a known shell that works.  bootstrap changes it to

#!/usr/pkg/bin/mksh

if it left it at #!/bin/sh it also fails with syntax errors.  There is 
no syntax error using a good shell. For example

#!/usr/pkg/bin/mksh
#!/bin/ksh
