make distclean doesn't solved the problem.

This could perhaps be a bug. I think you can normally build "miniruby"
if a base ruby is not available on the computer system, and then the
compilation step uses that miniruby for the compilation part. At the
least this is how I understood it to work.

Hopefully someone from the core team can have a look - would be great
if ruby could work on HaikuOS out of the box.

Forgot to mention i maintain the ruby port since some years, so i am definitely sure the earlier versions never had problem like this.

2.7.0p0 is the current running version on Haiku. I will look deeper into it later to find the culprit.

According to the log,

executable host ruby is required. use --with-baseruby option.
uncommon.mk:866: recipe for target 'parse.c' failed
make: *** [parse.c] Error 1

parse.y file has been modified, or its timestamp changed at least.

I didn't edited that file and haven't changed the timestamp, so while your idea makes sense, i don't trust this error message at all, as this is from make, not from flex/bison, so it is way too generic error to be able to tell whats going on here. Let's see what is in the debug output...
