I'm trying to build ruby from scratch with openss1.1.0. But it's failing with below error.

Could you elaborate your environment? OS and its version, C compiler and its version, etc.

Thank you. Currently ruby requires gcc 7 or higher. (#19353) Could you somehow prepare a new gcc and retry to build it?

BTW, as far as I know, RHEL 6 will end Extended Life-cycle Support soon. You might want to upgrade your OS as well. (However, RHEL 7 bundles gcc 4.8, which is still old for building ruby.)

• Status changed from Feedback to Closed
• Backport changed from 3.0: UNKNOWN, 3.1: UNKNOWN, 3.2: UNKNOWN, 3.3: UNKNOWN to 3.0: DONTNEED, 3.1: REQUIRED, 3.2: REQUIRED, 3.3: REQUIRED

The main cause is not only by old gcc.

Although newer gcc defines __BYTE_ORDER__ indeed, but other compilers may not.

And the use of REG_DWORD in the fallback part was wrong.
REG_DWORD is a constant used as a registry type on Windows, and REG_DWORD_LITTLE_ENDIAN is an alias of it always, but REG_DWORD_BIG_ENDIAN is not equal to it.
That is, the constant is not for portabilities.
