There are far far far deeper issues with ruby 1.8.x != 1.9.x behavior that need to be addressed. There is no "consensus" (no even a goal) stated that might lead to a more useful implementation. Instead there are gobs of macro magic glue to enable/disable and otherwise diddle up band-aids to a fundamentally flawed approach. Please read my comments (Sept 2009 iirc, +/- a year, was September) on <rpm-devel@rpm5.org> on fundamental design differences between "embedding" (as undertaken by me @rpm5.org) and "bindings" for a build system in ruby (as my existing implementation was (ab)used for). I see no rational way to extend RPM+RUBY usefully and portably by applying Yet More Macro Madness (in distro-du-jour dialect), with known and large differences in "embedding" behavior between ruby 1.8.x != 1.9.x implementations, particularly when all the cool kids interest is in creating a native ruby packaging system, not in devising more "standard" ruby *.rpm packaging.
