Here it is what I do. If anyone have a better procedure, I'd like to know.

I use a Rakefile for building gems:
http://github.com/santana/ruby-informix/tree/master/Rakefile

But when building a binary gem, I need to add

s.platform = Gem::Platform::CURRENT

to the gemspec, which adds the platform name to the name of the gem. I
also add the shared object to the list of files.

Finally I build the extension and run rake package to create the
distribution files.
