You didn't exactly (directly) answer my question.  Pretend I don't know 
much about ruby... (not far from the truth).

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.

However, you do say you do not distribute the .gem, though I'm curious 
why this seem to contradict you:

rpm -qlp rubygem-POpen4-0.1.4-3.fc17.noarch.rpm
/usr/share/gems/cache/POpen4-0.1.4.gem
...
