I just look into mooix source. Hmm, I think mood/Makefile should be fixed as:
ifeq (${EMBED_RUBY},yes)
SOURCES += ruby.c
CFLAGS += -DEMBED_RUBY -I`ruby -rrbconfig -e "puts Config::CONFIG['archdir']"`
RUBY_LINK=`ruby -rrbconfig -e 'puts Config::CONFIG["LIBRUBYARG_SHARED"]n'`
endif
Here, Config::CONFIG["LIBRUBYARG_SHARED"] is the appropriate linker option
to link with ruby library.
Note that -rrbconfig option is the same meaning of "require 'rbconfig'"
(rbconfig.rb is in /usr/lib/ruby/<version>/<arch>/rbconfig.rb)
So, once ruby-defaults becomes 1.8.x, /usr/bin/ruby will be ruby 1.8.x and
configuration parameters will be changed for ruby 1.8.x.
If it build-depends on ruby1.8 instead of ruby (and ruby1.8-dev of course),
and use /usr/bin/ruby1.8 instead of /usr/bin/ruby, you can build your
package for ruby1.8 before ruby-defaults becomes 1.8.x.

Ok.
