Yeah, I'm not quite sure what that statement means. It's not literally 
"every single binary in cygwin"

I don't really know enough about ruby be sure how to interpret it. 
There's some subset of packages which need rebuilding (as discussed 
below), and maybe any locally installed gems which have binaries?

Not really.

The failure was a consequence of that. As previously mentioned, using 
some special tools, I've retroactively added appropriate ruby_xy 
requires: in the .hint files for existing packages which:

* install into /usr/lib/ruby/vendor_ruby/x.y/
* install into /usr/lib/gems/ruby/x.y/
* contain executable files linked to cygrubyxy0.dll because they embed a 
ruby interpreter (which seems to be just kross-ruby, kf5-kross-ruby and 
weechat-ruby)

Sure, the documentation is at:

https://sourceware.org/cygwin-apps/setup.ini.html

Feel free to ask if you have further questions not covered by that.
