Ok, here's the final word from the Ruby gurus.

It's a bug in the Ruby headers. It needs a fix in Ruby which has been
done in the Ruby development branch (Ruby 1.7.something) but not in
the current release (or at least not the one in Woody. I don't know
which version of Ruby you have in... wait, what was the name of the
character now? Well, unstable anyway)
It also needs a minor fix in SWIG which has been done in CVS but
wasn't released either.

The bottom line is, we're out in the cold :(
Architectures with gcc 3.0.x are ruled out for the time being.

Sorry,
        Luigi
