  You can tweak the default one with the following trick:

  * have an environment variable RUBYLIB pointing to a directory in your
homedir, such as RUBYLIB=$HOME/lib/ruby
  * copy the standard rbconfig.rb file and dump it there, where you can
safely modify it

  Ruby should find $HOME/lib/ruby/rbconfig.rb before the standard one,
and the installation should now work (or at least go somewhat further).
You can make sure your modified version of rbconfig.rb is used by adding
a puts statement at the beginning of it.

  Cheers,
