Can't install gems cbor, raindrops, kgio, and stackprof

[hloeung]

Hi,

Recently noticed failures in installing the following gems on VMs running Ubuntu Bionic. Each with a different weird and wonderful error.

The last successful collection of these were from Jan 7th so I think it may be related to the recent core18 to core20 change - https://github.com/ruby/snap.ruby/pull/26

It's possible it's commits around then, I'm not sure.
