Yep, ruby-gtk2/ruby-gnome2 work great with ruby compiled without -pthread  
on RELENG_7. Nice! My suggest of add a new check should make everybody  
more happy.

% ldd /usr/local/bin/ruby
/usr/local/bin/ruby:
        libruby18.so.18 => /usr/local/lib/libruby18.so.18 (0x2807d000)
        libcrypt.so.4 => /lib/libcrypt.so.4 (0x28154000)
        libm.so.5 => /lib/libm.so.5 (0x2816d000)
        libc.so.7 => /lib/libc.so.7 (0x28182000)

% ruby /usr/local/share/examples/ruby18/gtk2/misc/filechooser.rb
[...no crash...]
% ruby /usr/local/share/examples/ruby18/gtk2/misc/fileselection.rb
