that's working actually, in fact, in my "extconf.rb" i do have a test :

case RUBY_PLATFORM
  when /.*darwin.*/   # are you over running Mac OS X 10.+ ?
<snip/>
  else
    puts "This Ruby extension needs MacOS X 10.+"
  end

to alert the user wanting inadvertedly to compile over a box not running
Mac OS X.
