Further investigation shows this is caused by a change in inlining behaviour,

gem install sigar -- --with-cppflags="-fgnu89-inline"

works around this. For bundler do

bundle config --local build.sigar '--with-cppflags="-fgnu89-inline"'

For me the fix mentioned above worked (Fresh Ubuntu 16.04, with rvm) gem install sigar -- --with-cppflags="-fgnu89-inline"
