Option 1 could be worked around by providing
/opt/csw/lib/ruby/1.8/$arch-solaris2.8/rbconfig.rb.LOCAL with the required
alterate path to CC and then using the cswrbconfig tool to make that the
default rbconfig.rb used.  (I don't want sos11 on all of my systems and
prefer gcc4 for most things, so I provided an ability to easily flip
flop.)

Option 2 can be corrected at build time on my side, I think.  I'll look at
that tonight.

Thanks for the quick feedback and sorry for the long delay on this.
