OK, I’m at the end of my tether with this. There are a few similar questions but they all refer to therubyracer 0.10, and they mostly conclude that the problem can be fixed by upgrading to 0.12.
I’m having similar problems, but when I use 0.12.
I’m having problems using ‘standard’ (xcode?) gcc, and both apple-gcc42 and gcc from homebrew. I’ve tried both --with-system-v8 and --without-system-v8, and again, no dice.
Here’s some logs:

OK. So to fix the issues with therubyracer 0.10, some people recommend brew installing v8, then telling rubygems to use system v8. Let’s see what happens!

Completely scratching my head, and already wasted hours on this. If you can spot what’s going wrong and help me fix it, you’ll be my hero(ine) forever.
OK, so this is now sorted.
For future people with the same problem, I was suffering from having ruby built against a previous installation of OS X.
Fixed by completely nuking rvm and starting from scratch, though I imagine you could just uninstall/reinstall the offending ruby.
More details on how the problem was solved here:
