Tested and working on SmartOS

[bixu]

I confirm that this is working on the latest LTS release of SmartOS.

[tduehr]

Any fis needs to be confirmed on both 10 and 11. I will be testing this shortly.

[bixu]

@tduehr Thanks! If you need help testing I can pitch in.

[tduehr]

@bixu you have a SPARC machine? I've had problems getting anything to run under emulation for SPARC so realy hardware is needed for testing...

[bixu]

I used to, but I no longer own a SPARC box.  I will see if anyone in the community has a zone we can jump on.  In the meantime, can we commit the patch for x86?

@jritorto may have some ideas here...

[tduehr]

The SPARC box is more for ongoing testing... This fix should work regardless of the hardware.

I have a fresh Solaris 11 install on a t1000 here, I think. Can turn it on
and connect it, give login stuff, etc. if you guys like. However, I'll be
in the garden for the rest of the day here in western Pennsylvania.

Any update on getting this merged in?

[caius]

Bump, any chance of getting this merged in please? Having to depend on a patch from a pull request to use the ffi gem on SmartOS is annoying 😀

[tduehr]

We need a patch that works for all versions of solaris. The two proposed each work for different versions and different installs. I haven't had time to build a few VMs for testing yet.

[tduehr]

@caius can you provide the output of pp RbConfig::CONFIG; nil

[caius]

@tduehr sure thing. Here's the output from ruby 2.1.5 on a SmartOS zone: https://gist.github.com/caius/b0a61d289010cad2dc8427729e35e896

[tduehr]

Would pulling this flag from RbConfig work? I don't have a Solaris box to test this properly yet. What do I need to install in a VM to replicate your environment?
