 By default it use the compiler used to compile ruby.

 If you really want to change

uln% ls
a.c  b.c
uln% 

uln% ruby -rmkmf -e 'CONFIG["CC"] = "xxx"; create_makefile("a")'
creating Makefile
uln% 

uln% make
xxx -fPIC -g -O2  -I. -I/usr/local/lib/ruby/1.8/x86_64-linux -I/usr/local/lib/ruby/1.8/x86_64-linux -I.   -c a.c
make: xxx: Command not found
make: *** [a.o] Error 127
uln%

 define $objs

uln% ruby -rmkmf -e '$objs = ["a.o"]; create_makefile("a")'
creating Makefile
uln%
 
uln% make
gcc -fpic -fPIC -g -O2  -I. -I/usr/local/lib/ruby/1.8/x86_64-linux -I/usr/local/lib/ruby/1.8/x86_64-linux -I.   -c a.c
gcc -fpic -shared  -L"/usr/local/lib" -o a.so a.o  -ldl -lcrypt -lm   -lc
uln%
