Wrong compile option during Rails installation on Clear Linux OS?

[espio999]

I wonder whether this is caused by the installation mechanism of this gem, or Ruby.

Install Rails with "sudo gem install rails" on Clear Linux OS, building gem is failed at "websocket-driver".

Error said
"gcc: error: unrecognized command-line option ‘-mzero-caller-saved-regs=used’; did you mean ‘-fzero-call-used-regs=’?"

It looks associated with the next topic.
https://gcc.gnu.org/pipermail/gcc-patches/2020-July/550018.html

Is an inappropriate building option set in Makefile dynamically generated during installation process? Although I over-write this option as "-fzero-call-used-regs=", Makefile itself is overwritten in installation process.

Steps to reproduce

Process of installation

1. install following bundles with command "sudo swupd bundle-add"
   -ruby-basic
   -sqlite
   -nodejs-basic
   -c-basic
   -devpkg-sqlite-autoconf

2. setup command of ruby and rails
   sudo gem update --system

Error at "websocket-driver"

Expected behavior

Rails is successfully installed.

Actual behavior

Next error is reported.

Same here.
Ubuntu 20.05 LTS
Ruby 3.0.1 (rvm)
gem install rails raises the same error.

$ gem install rails

I had a similar issue (and build) as @Volosh1n reported.

As inspired by: https://mulmandu17.tistory.com/63

Solution was:

sudo ln -s /bin/mkdir /usr/bin/mkdir

Another attempt at gem installing rails worked OK, and this gem:

Building native extensions. This could take a while...
Successfully installed websocket-driver-0.7.3

got built successfully.

We don't do anything special with the extension config, we just tell rubygems about it:

• https://github.com/faye/websocket-driver-ruby/blob/0.7.5/websocket-driver.gemspec#L18-L23
• https://github.com/faye/websocket-driver-ruby/blob/0.7.5/ext/websocket-driver/extconf.rb
• https://github.com/faye/websocket-driver-ruby/blob/0.7.5/ext/websocket-driver/websocket_mask.c

For development we use rake-compiler to build.

I'm not able to provide support for OSes other than Ubuntu and macOS, but usually compiler issues aren't to do with this gem specifically but some other problem with the environment gems are being compiled in.

sudo ln -s /bin/mkdir /usr/bin/mkdir - it helped.
