I don't see that incorrect path for $: defined any where in config* file or 
Makefile. It guess it must be derived from something. The miniruby got it 
right. The compiled ruby got it wrong.

[nm12681:ruby-junk] ./miniruby -e 'puts $:'
/login/asn/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8
/login/asn/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/i686-linux
/login/asn/lib/ruby/site_ruby
/login/asn/lib/ruby/1.8
/login/asn/lib/ruby/1.8/i686-linux
..
[nm12681:ruby-junk] ./ruby -e 'puts $:'
/tools/xd/ruby-1.8.5/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8
/tools/xd/ruby-1.8.5/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/i686-linux
/tools/xd/ruby-1.8.5/lib/ruby/site_ruby
/tools/xd/ruby-1.8.5/lib/ruby/1.8
/tools/xd/ruby-1.8.5/lib/ruby/1.8/i686-linux

Don't know why the compiled ruby has wrong $: and why it's different than 
miniruby's $:. It looks like a particular problem, though, only when I 
included my co-worker bin path.

I got it compiled with using different path (it has older gnu tools). This 
time the $: is correct. It picks up my ruby library.
