Looks like only the bootstrap test ("make test") is run.

That doesn't test a big chunk of functionality or standard library
at all.

The "test-all" target should also be run and is likely to find
more problems.

Can you give that a shot?

("make check" runs both test-all and test targets)

ruby-core actually has a good chunk of developers working on
Debian, but mainly x86/x86-64.

Thanks, I'll check those at a later time.
