All three versions provide the same output, unless I did some
mistake,
<br>
since I did not tested it (actually the middle one was taken
directly
<br>
from rubygem-POpen4.spec). So which version you prefer? Please
note that
<br>
the "gem install" will always "unpack" the gem with some
additional, for
<br>
our case unimportant, steps. We do not distribute the .gem file
anywhere.

You didn't exactly (directly) answer my question. Pretend I don't
know much about ruby... (not far from the truth).
<br>
<br>
So, for rubygem packages that include native (C or otherwise
code), how and when is this compiled? If it is always done so
during either version of these guidelines, please do accept my
apologies for being ignorant.

It is compiled during the "gem install" step. So "gem install" is
doing %prep, %build, %install in one step. So yes, it is always done
for either version of guidelines.<br>

However, you do say you do not distribute the .gem, though I'm
curious why this seem to contradict you:
<br>
<br>
rpm -qlp rubygem-POpen4-0.1.4-3.fc17.noarch.rpm
<br>
/usr/share/gems/cache/POpen4-0.1.4.gem
<br>
...

I knew you will point it out :).<br>
<br>
It is cached version of the original gem, which RubyGems may use to
restore the gem into its original state (and may be other unknown
purposes). However, it is not used in runtime, nor it is good idea
to restore the gems maintained by RPM by gem command. Moreover, even
though the gem would not be available in the cache dir, RubyGems
will download it. Hence we add new clause into the packaging
guidelines:<br>
<br>
Since the Gem is installed using RPM, you <b>must</b> exclude the
.gem file. <br>
