  Sorry... I must admit I didn't go further than the first name...

  Could you comment out that line and replace it with

CONFIG["ARCH_FLAG"] = ""

  That should let you build correctly - or, at least, let you run to the
next problem ;-). It might actually be a bug in your ruby installation
rather than in mkfm2.rb, which would be a great relief to me.
