I'll make a patch for that. I also noticed unbundling of libffi is not applied to all versions, will fix that too. > * Ruby bundles zlib. Can you point out where it is in the source tree? Looking at the sources I can only find a (very beefy) wrapper around zlib which seems to implement all kinds of zlib stuff but also depends on the zlib library. I dunno how to determine if this is bundling or not. https://github.com/ruby/ruby/blob/master/ext/zlib/zlib.c > * Ruby contains some things generated by bison or such. It seems the generated parse.c file (from parse.y) is included in the tarballs as a service to workaround a bootstrap problem; generating the parser requires ruby. See also: https://github.com/ruby/ruby/blob/master/common.mk#L910 I don't know how to deal with this properly. The only thing I can think of is compiling in two phases: first with the supplied parse.c and after without. Or try it with mruby as a native-input but that seems to require ruby to compile too. What's to gain by this? Cheers, Remco
