+Subject: [PATCH] Rubygems: don't install platform-specific gems
+
+Gems with native extensions typically contain just source code that is
+built during installation on user's system. However, Rubygems allows to
+publish even platform-specific gems with prebuilt binaries for specific
+platform. The problem is that Rubygems uses only short platform
+identification like x86_64-linux; it does not identify used libc.
+And sadly platform-specific gems for linux are built against glibc, so
+they may not work on musl libc.
+
+This patch is a workaround for the aforesaid problem. It removes local
+platform from Rubygems' supported platforms to force it always pick
+a platform-agnostic (source) gem. Users can override it using
+`--platform` option.
