Bug #7698: RubyGems 2.0 has an incompatibility about installation of extension libraries
https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/7698#change-35433

Author: mrkn (Kenta Murata)

Target version: 2.0.0

The current rubygem included in ruby-head has an incompatibility about installation of extension libraries.
This incompatibility makes `make install` to be failed because the current gem doesn't separate build, source and install directories.

This is reported as a bug of bigdecimal's gemspec in #7344 firstly, but Tadashi Saito pointed out it also can be reproduced in other gems including extension libraries, such as decimal.gem.
I think this incompatibility will make gem-developers to be in trouble after ruby-2.0 is released.
So this should be resolved before ruby-2.0 is released.
