Build failure when building ruby bindings on Fedora

Build failure when building ruby bindings on Fedora

[Jonathan Underwood]

Hi,

I am attempting to build 0.21 on Fedora rawhide and am hitting the
following failure when building the ruby bindings - seems to be an
unresolved symbol error during linking. Any help appreciated.

Thanks,
Jonathan

This looks very similar to a problem reported a few months ago with ruby on
Fedora:

        http://mid.gmane.org/20150630063942.GM24926@chitra.no-ip.org

I'm not 100% sure, but it seems like there is a problem with the
Makefiles generated by Ruby on Fedora.
