Testing on JRuby because the failures are clearer as it does not support C extensions, and JRuby 9.3 targets Ruby 2.6 which makes the errors clearer (no mix with new default gems in Ruby 3 which might hide errors with lucky versions).

io-wait, strscan don't work on JRuby, but JRuby has those in stdlib and they work fine. So the immediate issue is some gems depend needleslly on those default gems when they don't need to.
