I have looked at it again. Environment variables do not have any
effect on it. Patching mkmf.rb is not an option to me because then I
have to rebuild ruby. However I think maybe I can make a wrapper for
mkmf.rb. Thanks for the idea.

Anyway I still want ability to patch a gem package :) (for more
difficult cases, I can search bugs.gentoo.org for those if you want
examples)

Cheers,
