Trying out of source build, it fails:

... snip ...

compiling ../ruby-3.1.1/vm_sync.c
compiling ../ruby-3.1.1/vm_trace.c
compiling ../ruby-3.1.1/yjit.c
assembling ../ruby-3.1.1/coroutine/amd64/Context.S
Assembler messages:
Fatal error: can't create coroutine/amd64/Context.o: No such file or directory
make: *** [Makefile:438: coroutine/amd64/Context.o] Error 1

I wonder if there is any chance to make this work?

Please precisely write what you did. The following process works well for me.

$ tar xf ruby-3.1.1.tar.gz
$ mkdir ruby-build
$ cd ruby-build
$ ../ruby-3.1.1/configure --prefix=$PWD/local
$ make

I guess you first did "in-place" build and then did "out-of-place" build by using the source directory that has not only source files but also object files. This is not supported.

Thx, that was what I did. Is there a way to prevent this or to provide some helpful message?
