Comment (by olly):

 It'll need linking against the ruby shared library as symbols need to be
 resolved at link time on that platform.

 In your existing build tree, try:

 {{{
 #!sh
 make RUBY_LIBS=-lmsvcrt-ruby191
 }}}

 The library name is a bit of an informed guess (191 should be correct for
 1.9.3, confusing as that may seem).  If that isn't right, then you should
 be able to get the correct name with:

 {{{
 #!sh
 ruby -rrbconfig -e 'print RbConfig::CONFIG["LIBRUBYARG"]'
 }}}

 If that works, I can easily fix configure to get this right by itself.
