During the build, Ruby has special logic to serialize its own builtin
module to disk using the binary iseq format during the build (I assume
for speed so it doesn't have to parse builtin every time it starts
up).
However, since iseq format is architecture-specific, when building on
x86_64 for universal x86_64 + arm64, the serialized builtin module is
written with the x86_64 architecture of the build machine, which fails
this check whenever ruby imports the builtin module on arm64:
1fdaa06660/compile.c (L13243)
Thankfully, there's logic to disable this feature for cross-compiled builds:
1fdaa06660/builtin.c (L6)
This disables the iseq logic for universal builds as well.
Fixes [Bug #18286]
On some platforms, such as FreeBSD and Oracle Linux, symbols defined
in the crt0 setup routine are exported from shared libraries. So
ignore the symbols that would be exported even in an empty shared
library.
Introduce Universal Parser mode for the parser.
This commit includes these changes:
* Introduce `UNIVERSAL_PARSER` macro. All of CRuby related functions
are passed via `struct rb_parser_config_struct` when this macro is enabled.
* Add CI task with 'cppflags=-DUNIVERSAL_PARSER' for ubuntu.
This instructs make to delete target files if the recipe fails midway, like
when make itself is interrupted. This is mostly for development since it
protects against corrupt builds that need a `make clean` to repair. Release
builds normally don't fail mid-recipe.
GNU make and BSD make support this.
From GNU make's manual:
> This is almost always what you want make to do, but it is not historical
> practice; so for compatibility, you must explicitly request it.

Rust 1.58.0 unfortunately doesn't provide facilities to control symbol
visibility/presence, but we care about controlling the list of
symbols exported from libruby-static.a and libruby.so.
This commit uses `ld -r` to make a single object out of rustc's
staticlib output, libyjit.a. This moves libyjit.a out of MAINLIBS and adds
libyjit.o into COMMONOBJS, which obviates the code for merging libyjit.a
into libruby-static.a. The odd appearance of libyjit.a in SOLIBS is also
gone.
To filter out symbols we do not want to export on ELF platforms, we use
objcopy after the partial link. On darwin, we supply a symbol list to
the linker which takes care of hiding unprefixed symbols.
