I don't think getting rid of C extensions is necessary for that.

The gemspec tells you a gem contains some native code, bundler/rubygems could on paper have some GEM_HOME that's the same for all ruby version and some NATIVE_GEM_HOME, that ABI specific.

Aaron Patterson ✅

@byroot @postmodern @headius IIRC RubyGems has a way of installing the shared object to a different location than the Ruby bits. Problem is you still have to recompile native extension if the ABI changes (which I usually do by just `gem install`). I don't value my time though, so my fork of chruby doesn't share GEM_HOME between Rubies 😅
