It can be even weirder than that. I often have to ship extension gems for
multiple versions of glibc, the crypto libraries, etc. The platform version
string is always i686-linux or some such thing, but they're still distinct
(and incompatible) binary gems. Even with gembuilder, I'll need to decorate
the gem filenames by hand. Still, it's a huge help. Up till now, I've had to
keep extra rake tasks around for each of my target platforms and
subplatforms.
