Issue #17809 has been updated by nobu (Nobuyoshi Nakada).
Backport changed from 2.6: UNKNOWN, 2.7: UNKNOWN, 3.0: UNKNOWN to 2.6: REQUIRED, 2.7: REQUIRED, 3.0: DONTNEED
Is this only?

Bug #17809: Ruby 2.6.7 backported C99 code that breaks older compilers

Hey folks,
It looks like the 2.6.7 release inadvertently backported some C99 code from HEAD onto the Ruby 2.6 branch that shouldn't be requiring C99 compilers. This is causing us some pain and failures in our older versions of Chef that use Ruby 2.6 and are built without the C99 flag set on compilers.
Here's the patch we apply the 2.6.7 codebase to remove the C99 code:
https://github.com/chef/omnibus-software/blob/master/config/patches/ruby/ruby-2.6.7_c99.patch
Here's the commit that backported the C99 code:
https://github.com/ruby/ruby/commit/fe85a3d5271c4e3aeda42ec32e9c3f9ee02b6897
The particular line in the commit causing failures:
https://github.com/ruby/ruby/blob/fe85a3d5271c4e3aeda42ec32e9c3f9ee02b6897/hash.c#L5661
The failure we see while compiling:

Issue #17809 has been updated by jeremyevans0 (Jeremy Evans).
Backport changed from 2.6: REQUIRED, 2.7: REQUIRED, 3.0: DONTNEED to 2.6: REQUIRED, 2.7: DONTNEED, 3.0: DONTNEED
Status changed from Open to Closed
I think this is only required for 2.6, since we switched to C99 before 2.7, so I've updated the backport field.
