rubygems is not in the deps for ruby-support in paludis, but compile will fail if it's missing. Probably this: ruby? ( >=dev-lang/ruby-1.8 ) should be replaced by ruby? ( dev-ruby/rubygems )

Thanks for that note, the file 10rubygems was still in env.d from a previous installation. Don't know if this needs a fix / is fixable thought.
This was caused be /etc/env.d not being in CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK in profiles/base/make.defaults when you installed rubygems. Fixed in CVS

Given the summary INVALID is a more correct resolution. `unset RUBYOPT` if you run into this and figure out why it gets set.
