The eclass sets S=$WORKDIR at first because it creates a separate
source tree for each version of ruby that will be built for. For
example, you might have both $WORKDIR/ruby27 and $WORKDIR/ruby28. Later
on in the each_ruby_foo phases, $S will point to one of those, so it
should look more like what you're expecting.

That uses the currently-eselected version of ruby to determine the path
though. If you eselect another version, or if you update the current
one, the bindings will stop working.
It may still not be worth the effort, but I'd keep that in mind when
updating ruby.
