Right, I just found that too.

The first one isn't.

Not really, it's just standard.

A mistake, probably the first line is enough.

It doesn't, that's what the 'test -f Makefile' was for.

A mistake.

Tell that to debian maintainers who configure ruby that way:

require 'rbconfig'
RbConfig::CONFIG['sitelibdir']
=> "/usr/local/lib/site_ruby/1.9.1"
RbConfig::CONFIG['configure_args']
=> " '--build=x86_64-linux-gnu' '--prefix=/usr'
'--includedir=/usr/include' '--mandir=/usr/share/man'
'--infodir=/usr/share/info' '--sysconfdir=/etc' '--localstatedir=/var'
'--libexecdir=/usr/lib/ruby1.9.1' '--srcdir=.'
'--disable-maintainer-mode' '--disable-dependency-tracking'
'--disable-silent-rules' '--enable-pthread' '--enable-shared'
'--disable-rpath' '--disable-install-doc'
'--with-vendordir=/usr/lib/ruby/vendor_ruby'
'--with-sitedir=/usr/local/lib/site_ruby' '--program-suffix=1.9.1'
'--with-soname=ruby-1.9.1' '--with-baseruby=/usr/bin/ruby1.8'
'--enable-ipv6' '--with-dbm-type=gdbm_compat' '--with-tklib=tk8.5'
'--with-tcllib=tcl8.5' '--with-tcl-include=/usr/include/tcl8.5'
'--with-bundled-sha1' '--with-bundled-md5' '--with-bundled-rmd160'
'build_alias=x86_64-linux-gnu' 'CFLAGS=-g -O2 -fstack-protector

-fno-strict-aliasing' 'LDFLAGS=-Wl,-z,relro'
'CPPFLAGS=-D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2' 'CXXFLAGS=-g -O2 -fstack-protector
--param=ssp-buffer-size=4 -Wformat -Werror=format-security -Wall
-fno-strict-aliasing'"

So, the changes I propose are:
