Travis CI builds of Ruby 1.8.7 and REE appear to be fully broken by an SSL certificate issue.
This is not surprising, given their age. I would hazard a guess that fixing may require configuration of the most recent OpenSSL version they can be built with, potentially including patches, followed by installation of newer platform certificates.
