ruby: update to 3.4.1

[jeremyd2019]

Seems to be behaving itself after I patched the syslog gem. I don't really know what's going on with it, so draft for now.

[jeremyd2019]

Weirdnesses:

1. if a module tries to be disabled in its extconf.rb, it fails with:

../ruby-3.4.1/ext/extmk.rb:279:in 'Array#-': no implicit conversion of nil into Array (TypeError)
        from ../ruby-3.4.1/ext/extmk.rb:279:in 'Object#extmake'
        from ../ruby-3.4.1/ext/extmk.rb:659:in 'block in <main>'
        from ../ruby-3.4.1/ext/extmk.rb:653:in 'Array#each'
        from ../ruby-3.4.1/ext/extmk.rb:653:in '<main>'

2. syslog module was disabled on cygwin. I patched to turn that on.
3. win32/resolv module was being disabled on i686 because it wasn't finding GetNetworkParams in libiphlpapi.a. This was due to it not including the header, so it didn't know it was looking for a stdcall function. I have a patch for that, but
4. apparently random Segmentation fault (core dumped) on i686 during build (tests are fine)
5. high -j MAKEFLAGS makes this worse, and on x86_64 the mmap thing seems also to happen more with high -j

[jeremyd2019]

on i686 it looks like it's segfauling in system

[jeremyd2019]

Ugh, my patch to fix i686 broke x86_64 (and of course, details of what went wrong are not in the CI log, have to build locally to see what's going on). More work to do here

[jeremyd2019]

it builds locally for me now for both i686 and x86_64 (and passes tests), but the build is still unreliable. It worked at -j1 but it still needs to be debugged to see what's going wrong.

I tried to build with makepkg -cfLsC but it freezed at check phase as following.

My build environment is

• CPU: Intel Core i7 12700 (12 cores)
• Memory: 96GB
• Disk: 1TB NVMe SSD
• OS: Windows 11 2023H2

[jeremyd2019]

Hmm, I've had a lot of issues with the build phase, but check has generally been OK (I've seen a couple of spurious failures in fork/signal tests under load).

[yasuhirokimura]

I also tried makepkg -cfLsC --nocheck and it finished successfully.
Just FYI.

[jeremyd2019]

I added a -j1 on this PR in build() - that seemed to work around the issues I was seeing. -j1 on the check would probably work around the issues there too, but I really need to figure out what's going wrong

I tried with HEAD of your branch. So it means the freeze happened with make -j1.

[jeremyd2019]

I meant adding -j1 to the make test in check(). But like I said, we really need to figure out why it fails with higher -j values.

Got it. After applying following change check() also finished successfully.

Agreed. I don't know the detail of make test at all but it seems like deadlock happens between running tests.
