The presently the Ruby(-2.6) tree is against 2.6.7.
Please download

http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.6/linux-2.6.7.tar.bz2

untar it somewhere and do a

(cd /where you cheched out the ruby-tree/ruby/ruby-2.6 ; tar cvf - .) \
| (cd /where you unpacked the kernel src/linux-2.6.7 | tar xf -)

Or use the attached patch that was made with the same procedure.
Now try again to configure and compile your kernel.

Best regards,
