I think the problem is contained in the original message. Since we want
to create a shared library "notmuch.so" for ruby to import, we need to
compile the C files in bindings/ruby with -fPIC.

I don't know if this is Debian specific, or ruby version specific, but
on my Debian Jessie machine with ruby 2.1, the generated Makefile
bindings/ruby/Makefile has

CFLAGS   = $(CCDLFLAGS) -g -O2 -fstack-protector-strong -Wformat
-Werror=format-security -fPIC $(ARCH_FLAG)

in it

even when invoked outside the notmuch build system; e.g.

% cd bindings/ruby && ruby extconf.rb

I guess the first step is to see if the -fPIC flag is also there on
Fedora, and if not, why not. If I look at the builds for 0.19 [1]
it seems it is. But notice there it is not required to pass it in to "--with-cflags"
