The Config stuff is normally defined in rbconfig.rb. Can you check what this file looks like for you? It can be found in the top-level work directory, e.g. /var/tmp/portage/dev-lang/ruby-<version>/work/ruby-<version>
Created attachment 125397 [details] rbconfig.rb from build directory, as requested
I'm afraid I'm not a big Ruby guru (yet), so I wouldn't know what to look for within this file...
Hmm, for me the line with "rbconfig.rb updated" gets printed before the shared library is linked. That might indicate a race condition in the build process, even though I'm also using MAKEOPTS="j2". Could you try with -j1 just to see if this might be the issue? The rbconfig.rb looks fine, so there is something else going on.

Well, the -j 1 helped in that rbconfig.rb is now built in the same place where it is built on my machine, but obviously that's not the cause. The only other thing that comes to mind is a new incarnation of bug 161566. I am not familiar with uclibc so I'm not sure how likely this is. In order to verify this, downgrade autoconf to a previous version (like 2.59) and try to emerge ruby again.
Genius! It's installed now! I used autoconf-2.59-r7, and got this: ... powerpc-gentoo-linux-uclibc-ar rcu libruby18-static.a array.o bignum.o class.o compar.o dir.o dln.o enum.o error.o eval.o file.o gc.o hash.o inits.o io.o marshal.o math.o numeric.o object.o pack.o parse.o process.o prec.o random.o range.o re.o regex.o ruby.o signal.o sprintf.o st.o string.o struct.o time.o util.o variable.o version.o dmyext.o powerpc-gentoo-linux-uclibc-gcc -O2 -mcpu=603e -pipe -fno-strict-aliasing -fPIC -DRUBY_EXPORT -I. -I. -c main.c powerpc-gentoo-linux-uclibc-gcc -O2 -mcpu=603e -pipe -fno-strict-aliasing -fPIC -DRUBY_EXPORT -L. -Wl,-z,relro -rdynamic -Wl,-export-dynamic main.o libruby18-static.a -ldl -lcrypt -lm -o miniruby rbconfig.rb updated powerpc-gentoo-linux-uclibc-gcc -shared -Wl,-soname,libruby18.so.1.8 array.o bignum.o class.o compar.o dir.o dln.o enum.o error.o eval.o file.o gc.o hash.o inits.o io.o marshal.o math.o numeric.o object.o pack.o parse.o process.o prec.o random.o range.o re.o regex.o ruby.o signal.o sprintf.o st.o string.o struct.o time.o util.o variable.o version.o dmyext.o -ldl -lcrypt -lm -o libruby18.so.1.8.6 compiling Win32API compiling bigdecimal make[1]: Entering directory `/var/tmp/portage/dev-lang/ruby-1.8.6_p36-r3/work/ruby-1.8.6-p36/ext/bigdecimal' mkdir -p ../../.ext/powerpc-linux-uclibc powerpc-gentoo-linux-uclibc-gcc -I. -I../.. -I../../. -I../.././ext/bigdecimal -fPIC -O2 -mcpu=603e -pipe -fno-strict-aliasing -fPIC -c bigdecimal.c powerpc-gentoo-linux-uclibc-gcc -shared -o ../../.ext/powerpc-linux-uclibc/bigdecimal.so bigdecimal.o -L'.' -L'../..' -L. -Wl,-z,relro -rdynamic -Wl,-export-dynamic -Wl,-R -Wl,/usr/lib -L. -L/usr/lib -lruby18 -ldl -lcrypt -lm -lc mkdir -p ../../.ext/common/bigdecimal cp ../.././ext/bigdecimal/lib/bigdecimal/ludcmp.rb ../../.ext/common/bigdecimal cp ../.././ext/bigdecimal/lib/bigdecimal/newton.rb ../../.ext/common/bigdecimal cp ../.././ext/bigdecimal/lib/bigdecimal/jacobian.rb ../../.ext/common/bigdecimal cp ../.././ext/bigdecimal/lib/bigdecimal/math.rb ../../.ext/common/bigdecimal cp ../.././ext/bigdecimal/lib/bigdecimal/util.rb ../../.ext/common/bigdecimal make[1]: Leaving directory `/var/tmp/portage/dev-lang/ruby-1.8.6_p36-r3/work/ruby-1.8.6-p36/ext/bigdecimal' ... So I guess this bug is some sort of weird duplicate, no? ...Thanks for helping me install! :D
Update: It also works with the current stable Ruby (1.8.6-r1), and autoconf-2.60.
Duplicate, yes, but not really weird. The problem with the bug is that the file seek functions get clobbered in some cases, so reading from files suddenly causes weird side effects, such as the read marker being reset to the beginning of the file, or the read marker being set to a high value, thus pretending the file is empty. That seems to be what is going on here. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 161566 ***
