The functionality is already there; and it should be useful to check
if writing code that needs to be compatible between old/new Ruby
versions with different nonblock defaults.

Having many trivial .so is a waste of memory if they're loaded anyways in
common programs.  See [ruby-core:107493] and

(I also use `etc' and `socket' ext in all my scripts, anyways)
