I took a look at this too and found that if I upgraded the locale
rubygem to the version from github and also changed the do-build target to:

ruby -I/usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/gettext-2.1.0/lib configure
- --update-lang

then things would work OK. I'm not sure why the -I line would be needed
yet. Obviously that would have to be changed to something more generic
before commit. I've asked the maintainer of the locale rubygem to
release 2.0.6, but haven't heard back yet. Perhaps a gem patch will be
in order? More on that in an upcoming email.
