bigdecimal only has a C extension, won't install on JRuby

[headius]

The bigdecimal gem only contains the C extension version of that library, which means it cannot install on JRuby.

It should be removed until we can get the JRuby bigdecimal bits (or a stub) into the bigdecimal gem.

Or instead of removed, marked for just the "ruby" platform.

Sounds like a good idea. I find that in CRuby 2.7, Rails 2.4 fails without it. But if JRuby's 2.7-compatible versions don't have the same problem, there's no reason to lock the bigdecimal version for them.

What is the problem?

Rails 2.4 uses a deprecated BigDecimal constructor. By specifying an earlier version of BigDecimal, I get one where that constructor is still permissible.
