miniruby will not load and gets an error of: 

 ```

 Could not load program ./miniruby: 
         Dependent module libgmp.a(libgmp.so.10) could not be loaded. 
 Could not load module libgmp.a(libgmp.so.10).

 The dump -H of miniruby shows:

 Note the dependency of libgmp.    libgmp is not in /usr/lib or /lib but is in another directory that the compiler knows about via the prefix path but Ruby does not.    So the link succeeds because ld knows how to find libgmp but the execution does not because of the embedded LIBPATH (element 0 above).    This has come up before.    I can work around the issue by various ways but I thought I should open an issue. 

 I'm happy to help out with debug or more data.
