I don't have any idea. It looks like a source/configuration/make error of some 
type. My version is the also the following
ruby 1.6.8 (2003-03-26) [i386-freebsd5]

I didn't have any problem re-building portupgrade and the ruby tools using
portupgrade -pufr ruby.

My last cvsup was on 15 Oct, which is a little bit old. So, I recvsuped 
ports-all and, as always, re-built INDEX and INDEX.db. I use "make index" to 
update INDEX and the only refuse I have is "ports/INDEX-5". Since I rebuild 
the INDEXs everytime I cvsup ports-all, there isn't any point in having cvsup 
grab a current copy of INDEX-5, which is always out of date. After INDEX.db 
was rebuilt, I reran the -pufr update of ruby and didn't have any problems.

My setup is KISS simple. I use the stock gcc that comes with 5-current. I 
don't use options for the build flags in /etc/make.conf. My port tree is also 
located in /usr/ports. The only thing different on my FreeBSD-5-current 
machine is the packages produced by portupgrade are stored on a different fs 
called /usr3/All. That shouldn't make any difference to the build process. 
The iso images for version 5.1-Release were built on 5 Jun, which is several 
months after the last changes to ruby-1.6.8.

A uname -a of my system shows
FreeBSD opal 5.1-CURRENT FreeBSD 5.1-CURRENT #41: Wed Oct 15

You aren't the only one with problems and it may be something simple like a 
trashed ruby patch file. I haven't seen them re-roll the tarballs for ruby, 
which is only seen when the checksums don't agree. Since I don't have a 
5.1-release system, there isn't much else that I can try.
