Reading the error once again:

/usr/bin/ld: /usr/local/lib/libssl.a(t1_srvr.o): relocation
R_X86_64_32
against `.data' can not be used when making a shared object;
recompile
with -fPIC
/usr/local/lib/libssl.a: could not read symbols: Bad value

Seems clear to me: there is an issue with libssl (OpenSSL) installed
in your system.

I cannot provide more help because I'm not familiarized with Fedora,
but looks like like the library is not prepared to link with Ruby 1.9,
and is mentioning recompilation with -fPIC option.

Anyone encountered similar issue?
