Yes, such incomplete rbconfig.rb is also a correct one to make a package.

Yeah, it can be, and simply it can take info from reading and parsing rbconfig.rb instead of loading.
But for example ruby 1.9.3's build process can't be changed, so this must be fixed by ruby 2.0's side.

I am trying to prepare source archive using

 tool/make-snapshot tmp

With Ruby 2.0.0 rev38184 as as BASERUBY, however with no luck:

It seems that the `ruby -I. ./tool/compile_prelude.rb ./prelude.rb miniprelude.c` command is executed from the temporary directory with fresh sources. However, since there is added current directory '.' into the load path, the rbconfig.rb available there gets precedence instead of the rbconfig.rb of BASERUBY. Unfortunately, that rbconfig.rb contains just some rubbish.

The attached patch might fix the issue, but I am not sure what it breaks, since the original commit message introducing this flag (r14271) is not overly descriptive :/
