Yes but it fails only if I try to apply the patch, if I remove the patch
(as in the v2 patch provided in
https://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=49042#26) the package
succesfully builds; I need to apply a patch to try fix a bug in the
package.

I'll try to do this: any example at hand please?

One last question: may it be a ruby-build-system issue?

Thank you! Giovanni.
