First, don't send HTML to technical mailing lists.

You can probably override the CC env when running make after running
"ruby extconf.rb" manually.   Not sure how to do that easily via
"gem install"...

There might be a more generic way to specify an alternative
compiler when installing gems.

On the other hand, it might be easier to just install libatomic_ops
(or rebuild Ruby using gcc)

If you really want to get nasty, you can also edit the rbconfig.rb
file in your ruby installation so it points to GCC...  Totally hacky,
though...

Anyways I can't provide support for non-Free systems.  Maybe somebody
else on the list has more knowledge in these areas.
