Does anyone experience with Ruby source cross-compiling ?  
I need to cross-compile Ruby source on my Intel platform to run it on  
MIPS architecture (a small router based on Broadcom board/processor).

Any helps or information about ?  
Thx

Enrico

Maybe you can use the build systems from the various embedded
