rvm install 1.9.3
leads to the error in the make.log:
...

dmesg shows

free shows at some point running configure process:

Swap: 262140 262140 0
So I assume that 256MB RAM and 256MB Swap is not enough to compile Ruby on it.
I read that it should be possible using some parameters for gcc, see: http://hostingfu.com/article/compiling-with-gcc-on-low-memory-vps
But
rvm install 1.9.3 --with-CFLAGS="$CFLAGS --param ggc-min-expand=0 --param ggc-min-heapsize=8192"
Does not work to give the flags to gcc, log is still the same for the flags:
command(2): __rvm_make -j4
CC = gcc
LD = ld
LDSHARED = gcc -shared
CFLAGS = -O3 -ggdb -Wall -Wextra -Wno-unused-parameter -Wno-parentheses -Wno-long-long -Wno-missing-fiel$
XCFLAGS = -include ruby/config.h -include ruby/missing.h -fvisibility=hidden -DRUBY_EXPORT
CPPFLAGS = -I. -I.ext/include/x86_64-linux -I./include -I.
DLDFLAGS = -Wl,-soname,libruby.so.1.9
SOLIBS = -lpthread -lrt -ldl -lcrypt -lm
How to compile ruby on that machine?

To install a version of Ruby using RVM, use the command rvm install <version number>. So to install version 2.6.3 of Ruby enter the following into the terminal: Depending on your operating system, the above command may use precompiled binaries or compile the Ruby binaries from source. If compiling from source, this may take a long time to complete.
Different versions of Ruby may be necessary for different projects. With conventional installations, this would impede your ability to be flexible. Luckily, the Ruby Version Manager, known more widely as RVM, allows you to easily install multiple, contained versions of Ruby and easily switch between them.
Primarily, memory management relies on the Ruby runtime, the host operating system, and the system kernel. Apart from these, the runtime garbage collection also plays an important role in determining how memory is managed and recycled. Ruby organizes objects into segments called heap pages.
You can use RVM to configure development conditions, server installations, and even to deploy your application. If you work with Ruby on a regular basis, learning how to craft individualized Ruby environments with RVM is well worth it.
Creating a 512MB swap-file solved the problem. Here are the steps:
sudo mkdir -p /var/cache/swap/
sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=/var/cache/swap/swap0 bs=1M count=512
sudo chmod 0600 /var/cache/swap/swap0
sudo mkswap /var/cache/swap/swap0
sudo swapon /var/cache/swap/swap0
The swap file is not used after a restart. It can be integrated in /etc/fstab to use it after restart:
/var/cache/swap/swap0 none swap sw 0 0
