Ruby-build: Interrupted system call when installing on MacOS Big Sur

[snibbets]

I get this output and error when I attempt to build ruby:

The last lines of the build log are as follows:

compiling inspector.c

        from -e:4:in `<main>'

Not sure why I would be getting an Interrupted system call?

I also got this sometimes on Big Sur. Maybe, It's issues of Big Sur, not ruby-build.

@snibbets @csking119 @hsbt If you're having issues with Interrupted system call, you might try temporarily uninstalling or disabling security applications like Avira, Avast, ESET Endpoint Antivirus, Kaspersky, etc and then re-trying. This solved my similar issue.
