What configure options do you use?
Could you try --enable-shared if it is not used?

It seems that You are right, the --enable-shared solved the problem.
Is it possible to make the --enable-shared to be switched on by default?
If it is de facto mandatory, then it should be switched on by default.

It is a different story. --disable-shared isn't working should be a bug.
Could you show rbconfig.rb and ext/bigdecimal/mkmf.log files when failed?
