Ruby's native search path for $GEM_PATH looks like
"/lib/ruby/gems/2.2.0", where the version number at the end is formed by
the major + minor version of our Ruby package followed a ".0", ignoring
the patch version. However, the Ruby build system was installing gems
into places like "/lib/ruby/gems/2.2.1", using the patch version from
the Ruby used when building. Because of this, the search path suggested
by 'guix package --search-paths' was useless. This patch fixes that.
