I readded the macros you mentioned to my specfile.

Sorry for the delay, uploaded a new SRPM with these path issues fixed. 
All the directories currently present on the path are now there again, 
as well a bunch of new '1.8.7' subdirs in preperation for the parallel 
installable ruby stacks. The new srpm can be found here:

Running this on a 64 bit F13 install, also yields the following dirs

/usr/lib64/site_ruby/1.8
/usr/lib64/site_ruby/1.8/x86_64-linux
/usr/lib64/site_ruby

The only thing is the /usr/lib64/site_ruby dir doesn't exist (the ruby 
package in Fedora doesn't provide it apparently, unless I'm mistaken), 
so I omitted these entries. If this is a mistake, they can be readded 
easily and the rpm spec changed to generate that dir.

This was due to the missing lib paths, now rbconfig loads fine.

I added this patch to my specfile as well, bumped the release, and 
updated the changelog to include your feedback.
