psych/libyaml, zlib/libz - compile static?

[MSP-Greg]

A long time ago I was introduced to Ruby via a commercial app that had Ruby embedded. They recently contacted me about some of the dll's, in particular, libyaml & zlib. The MSYS2 versions have no info in the 'file properties' window, unlike the OpenSSL files. Some of their larger corporate customers' 'IT' departments have 'complained'. I don't how they were scanning the files.

Hence, possibly consider making psych and zlib static? Thanks to mkmf/msys2/ruby, simply deleting/renaming the *.dll.a files should force static. Checked with ruby-loco, and all tests passed...

Thanks, and hope you're having a good summer, Greg
