gnu99 but left an existing SunOS test to only check for iso9899:1999. This
resulted in CPPFLAGS not being set correctly for modules which require
native compilation - those should now all be fixed. Bump PKGREVISION.

Ruby 2.4.0 25 Dec 2016
o Introduce hash table improvement (by Vladimir Makarov)
Improve the internal structure of hash table (st_table) by introducing open
addressing and an inclusion order array. This improvement has been discussed
with many people, especially with Yura Sokolov.
o Binding#irb: Start a REPL session similar to binding.pry
While you are debugging, you may often use p to see the value of
variables. With pry you can use binding.pry in your application to launch a
REPL and run any Ruby code. r56624 introduces binding.irb which behaves like
that with irb.
o Unify Fixnum and Bignum into Integer
Though ISO/IEC 30170:2012 doesn¡Çt specify details of the Integer class,
Ruby had two visible Integer classes: Fixnum and Bignum. Ruby 2.4 unifies
them into Integer. All C extensions which touch the Fixnum or Bignum class
need to be fixed.
See also the ticket and akr¡Çs slides.
o String supports Unicode case mappings
String/Symbol#upcase/downcase/swapcase/capitalize(!) now handle Unicode case
mappings instead of only ASCII case mappings.
o Performance improvements
Ruby 2.4 also contains the following performance improvements including
language changes:
* Array#max, Array#min
[x, y].max and [x, y].min are optimized to not create a temporary array
under certain conditions.
* Regexp#match?
Added Regexp#match?, which executes a regexp match without creating a back
reference object and changing $~ to reduce object allocation.
* Other performance improvements
- speed up instance variable access
o Debugging
* Thread#report_on_exception and Thread.report_on_exception
Ruby ignores exceptions in threads unless another thread explicitly joins
them. With report_on_exception = true, you can notice if a thread has died
due to an unhandled exception.
Send us feedback what should be the default for report_on_exception and
about report-on-GC, which shows a report when a thread is garbage
collected without join.
* Thread deadlock detection now shows threads with their backtrace and
dependency
Ruby has deadlock detection around waiting threads, but its report
doesn¡Çt include enough information for debugging. Ruby 2.4¡Çs deadlock
detection shows threads with their backtrace and dependent threads.
o Other notable changes since 2.3
* Support OpenSSL 1.1.0 (drop support for 0.9.7 or prior)
* ext/tk is now removed from stdlib Feature #8539
* XMLRPC is now removed from stdlib Feature #12160
