It's not a big deal, I was just curious.

No, it should be relative to where you're running the ruby binary from.  
I've taken a whole Ruby installation tree and moved it to a CD and then 
taken the CD to a different machine without Ruby installed and run Ruby 
from the CD - this was with a Windows installation, but I don't think it 
would be any different on OS X or Linux.

I don't think it makes a difference.
