Ruby 2.3.8 installation fails on MacOS with rbenv as it is showing build failure while installing openssl

Question

I have macos monterey M1 pro chip, and while installing the ruby version 2.3.8 through rbenv it is failing as it is showing a build error while installing OpenSSL.

 % rbenv install 2.3.8 To follow progress, use 'tail -f /var/folders/qm/hl42kf3n21l484mj_trgmn_40000gq/T/ruby-build.20220902142349.96411.log' or pass --verbose Downloading openssl-1.0.2u.tar.gz... -> https://dqw8nmjcqpjn7.cloudfront.net/ecd0c6ffb493dd06707d38b14bb4d8c2288bb7033735606569d8f90f89669d16 Installing openssl-1.0.2u...

I have tried the solution posted in this stackoverflow link, but there is no Binutils present in my homebrew so it didn't help. I have searched on the internet a lot and couldn't able to find any possible solution. I pasted the exact error and logs. Let me know if anyone faced this same issue before?

RUBY_CFLAGS="-Wno-error=implicit-function-declaration" rbenv install 2.3.8
