Is it problematic to add a symlink?

Thinking out loud: If a change to the Fedora package is not possible, at
the very least I can encourage the Rubinius developers to document the need
to create the symlink to complete the compile, or they might decide to look
for the file in the arch-specific location if it's not found at
/usr/include/ruby/config.h.
