[DRE-maint] Bug#1069089:

[Mike Gerow]

I think this same issue is triggering a FTBFS in rake-compiler[1], and
removing the mentioned patch also seems to fix that issue.

I'm not sure whether it makes sense to drop this patch in rubygems or
to patch rake-compiler to accept the change here in rubygems, in
either case something will need to be done for these packages to live
harmoniously.
