My understanding is that the *sources* of the extensions should be the
same for both MRI and Rubinius, but the *binaries* are definitely
different. For example, a number of things MRI defines as macros
directly into MRI-specific struct layout are actually functions in
Rubinius...so an extension build for one definitely will not work on
the other.
