I'm using this Dockerfile to compile: https://github.com/docker-library/ruby/blob/ecbfdeb2b71e155222b1d3df0a33685247f00616/2.4/alpine3.6/Dockerfile, except with FROM resin/armhf-alpine (https://hub.docker.com/r/resin/armhf-alpine/) which forces docker to run through qemu with armhf emulation.

The compile is pretty standard:

	&& autoconf \
	&& gnuArch="$(dpkg-architecture --query DEB_BUILD_GNU_TYPE)" \
# the configure script does not detect isnan/isinf as macros
	&& export ac_cv_func_isnan=yes ac_cv_func_isinf=yes \
	&& ./configure \
		--build="$gnuArch" \
		--disable-install-doc \
		--enable-shared \
	&& make -j "$(nproc)" \
	&& make install \

The above compiles without issues on am armhf and amd64 device, however when compiling through qemu armhf, it throws the following segmentation fault:

Any ideas?

Does this still happen with Ruby 2.5.5, 2.6.3, or the master branch?
