 If you rebuild the current trunk after a rake clean, MacRuby loops forever
 on Makefile generation for the extensions. Running it in GDB you can see
 that it's looping in the LLVM optimization passes.

 I managed to reduce the problem to the following:
 {{{
 def foo(dummy)
   1.times do
     next
   end
 ensure
   puts
 end
 foo(nil)
 }}}

 In fact running this reduction in MacRuby does not loop but simply
 crashes.

 The bug comes probably from today's next/ensure changes.
