Description

Natively build a gem - just an example mysql2 on windows x64-mingw32
I could only get the gem to compile with devkit when --platform=ruby is specified - so my understanding is that all devkit compiled gems are platform ruby, even if devkit platform is acutally x64-mingw32

C:\apps\redmine_dev\bin>gem install mysql2 --no-document --platform=ruby -- "--with-mysql-dir=c:/apps/redmine_dev/mysql-5.6.23-winx64"
Fetching: mysql2-0.3.18.gem (100%)
Temporarily enhancing PATH to include DevKit...
Building native extensions with: '--with-mysql-dir=c:/apps/redmine_dev/mysql-5.6.23-winx64'
This could take a while...
Successfully installed mysql2-0.3.18
1 gem installed

here comes the acutal issue:
rerun (also with other dependency managers e.g. bundle install) installs dupplicate gem for platform x64-mingw32

C:\apps\redmine_dev\bin>gem install mysql2
Fetching: mysql2-0.3.18-x64-mingw32.gem (100%)

======================================================================================================

 \ You've installed the binary version of mysql2.
  It was built using MySQL Connector/C version 6.1.5.
  It's recommended to use the exact same version to avoid potential issues.

  At the time of building this gem, the necessary DLL files were retrieved from:
  http://cdn.mysql.com/Downloads/Connector-C/mysql-connector-c-6.1.5-winx64.zip

 \ This gem *includes* vendor/libmysql.dll with redistribution notice in vendor/README.

what is the point in installing a gem for two platforms?
it is also not supported by require to specify a platform.

solution a:
gem install should not install an additional platform, if the gem is already present
gem list should always display the platform (not only if there are more than 1)

solution b:
add an option to gem install that forces devkit build for specific platform so gem install will recognize that the platform is already present.
