ia64 is no longer an official Debian architecture, what means that issues on ia64 are not considered blockers for a Debian release. As the Debian ruby maintainer, I no longer care about ia64 myself. However, there is still a group of porters who do care about it, and as long as they are testing it and providing me patches, I'm happy to apply them. In fact, I have just made a new upload to Debian that applies an ia64-specific patch. ia64 porter team, you probably want to comment on the issue that Samuel linked to: https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/15894
