Ruby Installation Problems

I've been trying to use asdf to manage my rubies on arch linux for some time and I couldn't because the installation failed no matter what I tried. After some research I managed to get it working by installing gcc5 and openssl-1.0 on Arch Linux and then using using:
CC=gcc-5 PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/lib/openssl-1.0/pkgconfig RUBY_EXTRA_CONFIGURE_OPTIONS="--with-openssl-dir=/usr/lib/openssl-1.0" asdf install ruby 2.3.3
That solves 2 problems:
- Ruby 2.3 not being compatible with openssl 1.1 (which is the default one on arch linux)
- Ruby 2.3 not compiling with gcc 7.1.1 on arch for some other different reason and causing a segfault (as explained here https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/13635#change-65299)
GCC 7.3.1 builds Ruby 2.3.3 successfully, so there is no need to install or use another compiler:
PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/lib/openssl-1.0/pkgconfig RUBY_EXTRA_CONFIGURE_OPTIONS="--with-openssl-dir=/usr/lib/openssl-1.0" asdf install ruby 2.3.3
Similar to the above, I was getting build errors on Ubuntu 18.04:
The Ruby openssl extension was not compiled.
ERROR: Ruby install aborted due to missing extensions
Try running `apt-get install -y libssl-dev` to fetch missing dependencies.
Running apt install libssl1.0-dev removed the libssl-dev package, and asdf install ruby 2.3.3 was able to build successfully.
