NAK, at least until I understand what is going on better. Specifically
from the referenced bug we have

  The error message is:

  [ 1399s] Making install in ruby
  [ 1399s] make[2]: Entering directory
  `/home/abuild/rpmbuild/BUILD/apparmor-2.8.1/libraries/libapparmor/swig/ruby'
  [ 1399s] make[3]: Entering directory

  `/home/abuild/rpmbuild/BUILDROOT/apparmor-2.8.1-147.1.x86_64/usr/include/ruby-2.0.0/ruby.h',
  needed by `LibAppArmor_wrap.o'.  Stop.

  The bug is that it searches for ruby.h _inside the buildroot_, which is
  obviously wrong.

  Makefile.ruby is generated by swig.

But when building packages searching the build root is the correct place to
search as you may be building against a different version than your system
has installed.

Some googling around using
  extconf.rb header file ruby.h

I find that this error happens usually because of missing the ruby-dev packages

My guess is we need to add a dependency on a missing ruby-dev or similar package
so that we can pull the ruby.h into the build root.
