The suggestions  you made imply put  some ifdefs in the  ruby source for
this particular port. I  am not a ruby developer, but  I get the feeling
this port  is not very  popular anyway (Cygwin  one is more  popular) so
people may  just stop supporting the  djgpp port if too  many ifdefs are
needed...

Thanks for the suggestion. I will look into that.
