Issue #7860 has been updated by jonforums (Jon Forums).

mame-san...ruby_2_0_0@39344 solves these recent issues on my `x86_64-linux` (ubuntu server 12.10) machine. I will build `i686-linux` later tonight and report back if any errors.

  * `exec_prefix` regression
  * `gem {install,update} --user-install` errors

Bug #7860: Passing --libdir to ./configure causes Gem.ruby to point to an incorrect ruby interpreter path
https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/7860#change-36690

Author: cwgem (Chris White)
Status: Assigned
Priority: Normal
Assignee: nobu (Nobuyoshi Nakada)
Category: build
Target version: 2.0.0
ruby -v: ruby 2.0.0dev (2013-02-16 trunk 39262) [x86_64-linux]


How I reproduce:

------------------------------------
# git clone git://github.com/ruby/ruby.git
# autoreconf
# ./configure --libdir=/usr/local/lib64
# make clean && make && make install
# /usr/local/bin/ruby -e 'puts Gem.ruby'
/bin/ruby
------------------------------------

The problem is how topdir is set with `tool/mkconfig.rb`. This is a diff between `./configure` and `./configure --libdir=/usr/local/lib64`:

Notice how topdir changes. I think this might have been caused by the `tool/mkconfig.rb` changes here:
