I am having a problem with rvm install 2.4.2 (although I've tried several versions and the result is always the same).
I'm on OS X 11.4.
RVM is 1.29.12-next
The output is:
Searching for binary rubies, this might take some time.
No binary rubies available for: osx/11.4/x86_64/ruby-2.4.2.
Continuing with compilation. Please read 'rvm help mount' to get more information on binary rubies.
Checking requirements for osx.
Certificates bundle '/usr/local/etc/openssl@1.1/cert.pem' is already up to date.
Requirements installation successful.

I have installed command line tools with xcode-select --install.
I have tried running with --with-gcc=clang and --with-gcc=g++. Both of those result in slightly different errors, but essentially the same thing.
I went so far as to clean install Big Sur because I was convinced that there was a corruption in some core SDK libraries that were above my pay-grade. With great frustration, that didn't help at all.
Here are some other SO questions that I've looked at and not gotten help from:
