"this might be an bug caused by --prog-mode=0755, but my limited testing did not show any problems, please run this:

/usr/local/rvm/src/ruby-2.1.2/miniruby -e "hex = 'x[\da-f]+(?:[\da-f]+)*' ; binary = 'b[01]+(?:[01]+)' ; puts (/\A[-+]?(?:[0-7]+(?:_[0-7]+)|0(?:#{binary}|#{hex}))\z/io).match('0755')"

it should return 0755 ... in any case this looks like a bug in ruby, please open a ticket here: https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/projects/ruby-trunk - let me know if you need help with it"

checking

/usr/local/rvm/src/ruby-2.1.2/miniruby -e "hex = 'x[\da-f]+(?:_[\da-f]+)*' ; binary = 'b[01]+(?:_[01]+)*' ; puts (/\A[-+]?(?:[0-7]+(?:_[0-7]+)*|0(?:#{binary}|#{hex}))\z/io).match('0755')"

I've found mention of this "too big" error online, but none that reference a ruby/rvm fix.

No clue what's unique on this box, or why this occurs. Any hints on cause or fix?

rvm install of ruby ver <= 2.0.0 appears ok.
rvm install of ruby ver >= 2.1.1 FAILs as above

is the issue with rvm, or ruby?

removing rvm from the situation:
