AIX6.1 - Ruby 2.2.3

The following test fails (constantly):

I'd like to have the temporary files (Makefile, conftest.c, etc) to be NOT removed, and I' like to print some traces for helping me to understand what's wrong.
However, I cannot find any hint on the Web about how to proceed.
I've started to look at files: lib/mkmf.rb & test/mkmf/test_convertible.rb , but I cannot find how to proceed for keeping temp files and for adding traces.
So, I'm lost about how I can analyze/debug this issue, and I need some help.

[TRex58 (Tony Reix)]

The issue appears only when compiling with XLC.

XLC: 1 tests, ** 7** assertions,** 1 failures**, 0 errors, 0 skips
GCC: 1 tests, **12** assertions, **0 failures, 0 errors**, 0 skips

Anyway, how can I get information about what is going wrong ?

Seems these warnings cause the failures.
Does xlc have an option to suppress them?

[nobu (Nobuyoshi Nakada)]

configure with cflags=-qsuppress=1506-434 may work.

Yes. That works. However, it is not enough.
I know have:

        CC = xlc
        CFLAGS = -qsuppress=1506-434
...

I think that xlc is managing signed int/long in a "special" way.
I could use gcc instead. But, if there are issues with xlc, I'd like to understand them and open defects so that they are fixed in the future.
And, in order to understand the issues, I need to go inside the test: display more details, or understand how the tests work, or debug.
But, in that case, Ruby seems to build Makefile, conftest.c file, compile it, run it, and produce some result. Debug does not seem useful. And I'm a beginner in Ruby.
But I cannot find a way to not have the files removed. I even don't know where they are created.
Some clarification about this kind of test works would help me. Moreover, there is another similar tests which fails too: TestMkmf::TestConvertible#test_typeof_typedef .
Anyway, thanks for your help.

mkmf does not create Makefile until create_makefile is called, so no Makefiles are created by the tests in question.
conftest.cs are shown, as "checked program"s.
