Facing issues while installing ruby 2.3.7 in macOS 14.7 on x86_64 using ruby-build 20241225.2

I'm having issues with installing ruby 2.3.7 in my mac
Here is the log file
ruby-build.20250110134258.74494.log
My xcode version is 2408
Can someone please help me with this? I need this specific version to work on legacy code. I do know for a fact that this is working if I try in some docker environment. But in my lap this is failing

Hi, you are attempting to install an ancient Ruby version on a modern macOS machine, and it's most likely that the compilation will fail and that Docker is a better bet.

However, in this instance, the hurdle you ran into is while compiling OpenSSL 1.0, which ruby-build does for compiling Ruby if a suitable system OpenSSL version wasn't found. You could work around this by installing OpenSSL 1.0 before invoking ruby-build. For instructions how to do this with Homebrew and our custom Homebrew tap, see here: https://github.com/rbenv/homebrew-tap?tab=readme-ov-file#installing-ruby-23-or-older-on-macos
