Bug #12457: Ruby 2.2.5 segfaults as soon as I include wxRuby module

I saw on GitHub that wxW now says it supports 2.2. wx 2.8 installed from packages on Linux Mint 17.3 (derived from Ubuntu 14.04), but the mere inclusion of the module causes this segfault. Ruby 2.2.5 compiled from source.

require 'wx'

class GUI
  include Singleton
  include 'Wx'

  def start
  end

  def shut_down
  end
end

Typically, this is an error occurs when an extension library build for 1.8 is loaded.
