I was able to confirm that that wasn't happening on my AMD64.

Although to get this to work I had to patch the extconf.rb that you have
in your gem.

Here's what I replaced it with:

    require 'mkmf'
    find_library("onig","onig_new")
    find_header("oniguruma.h", *%w(/usr/local/include /opt/local/include))
    $CFLAGS='-Wall'
    create_makefile( "oregexp" )

enjoy,
