Same here, although I don't have nmake installed and thus I'm getting 
the same old failed to build native extension error:

$ gem update
Updating installed gems
Updating eventmachine
Building native extensions.  This could take a while...
ERROR:  While executing gem ... (Gem::Installer::ExtensionBuildError)
    ERROR: Failed to build gem native extension.

c:/ruby/bin/ruby.exe extconf.rb update
checking for windows.h... no
*** extconf.rb failed ***
Could not create Makefile due to some reason, probably lack of
necessary libraries and/or headers.  Check the mkmf.log file for more
details.  You may need configuration options.

Provided configuration options:
        --with-opt-dir
        --without-opt-dir
        --with-opt-include
        --without-opt-include=${opt-dir}/include
        --with-opt-lib
        --without-opt-lib=${opt-dir}/lib
        --with-make-prog
        --srcdir=.
        --curdir
        --ruby=c:/ruby/bin/ruby


Gem files will remain installed in 
c:/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/eventmachine-0.12.2 for inspection.
