There are created suspicious include directories:

$ cd /usr/local/include/
[vondruch@localhost include]$ tree

            └── config.h

My concern is specifically the ruby-2.7.0/ruby-2.7.0 directory structure.

This is very likely created here:

https://github.com/ruby/ruby/blob/40026a408df5e3576380f6c1d8bf6c119fa2e32b/common.mk#L241

But it is not clear to me under what conditions this directory is used.

Looking at my include directories, I see directories such as:

/path/to/include/ruby-2.7/ruby-2.6/x86_64-openbsd
/path/to/include/ruby-2.7/ruby-2.7/x86_64-openbsd

but nothing similar for 2.8 even though 2.8 is also installed. I'm guessing this issue has been fixed in the master branch. If it still occurs for you in the master branch, please respond and we can reopen. Maybe the fix was in 33d02e6bc7502c5a3f09c59908a8c9f08a474b8d, which skipped installing empty directories?
