Yes, I was aware. I tried again with proper 0.20.2. And everything
succeeds. So I guess something with master. I usually build master in
that repo, I guess I'll stick to the release for now.

Yes, I have looked at what the official packages[1] do, I do exactly the
same[2]. Essentially the spec file does the following:
pushd bindings/ruby
ruby extconf.rb --vendor --with-cflags="%{optflags}"
make %{?_smp_mflags}
popd
where, _smp_mflags is -jN, and optflags is options for gcc. If you need
the specific flags, I can try to look it up.

Since everything is built in a chroot, I have control over the build
environment via the spec file. If need be, I can disable it. However
it would be interesting to know why master fails.
Thanks for your comments.
Cheers,
