Hmmm, just a few other ideas ... (shooting in the dark here ...).

* did you try on 1.8.7 or with rvm use system?
* The process must have done "something" that could be traceable
  and tell you which library or .h file is missing ...

Maybe try to find all modified files there just after an unsuccessful 
build ? This will list all files that where modified less than 5 minutes
ago (and removing the innocent /doc/ files):

~/.rvm$ find . -mmin -5 | grep -v '/doc/'
./rubies/ruby-1.9.2-p0/include/ruby-1.9.1
./rubies/ruby-1.9.2-p0/include/ruby-1.9.1/ruby-1.9.2-p0
./rubies/ruby-1.9.2-p0/include/ruby-1.9.1/ruby-1.9.2-p0/vm_exec.h
...

HTH,

Peter
