When I try make runnable to be able to run individual tests with .\ruby test/runner.rb ..., I get the error below. It is important to solve this so I can make progress on Feature #18037. Except for the problem reported at Bug #18614, comprehensive tests such as make check work fine.

Just for the record, on a completely new checkout:

$ ruby -v
ruby 3.1.0dev (2021-06-03T06:59:33Z master 7e14762159) [x86_64-linux]
$ ./ruby -v
ruby 3.2.0dev (2022-03-15T23:46:04Z master 48f1e8c5d8) [x86_64-linux]

Command used to configure:
$ ./configure --enable-load-relative --disable-install-doc

By the way, I'm not really sure what files (or directories) are missing. Does the message
/home/duerst/14ruby/lib/fileutils.rb:301:in link': No such file or directory @ rb_file_s_link - (goruby, ./bin/goruby) (Errno::ENOENT)mean thatgorubyand./bin/gorubyare missing? These files are indeed missing, but I don't understand why they are needed forrunnable`, or why they are missing.

@nakada: I again hit this. I found out that the solution is easy, just do make goruby before using make runnable. I propose to add goruby to the targets necessary when creating runnable, to avoid additional steps and unnecessary confusion.
