Duplicating a comment there:

Somewhere between the following two commits, make install adds additional empty folders that are created in lib/ruby/gems/2.7.0/gems, most are default gems.

Looking at the commit, the addition of the empty folders appears to be intentional, to result in the same behavior as gem install --default. Can you explain what problems this causes?

Sorry, but code that creates thirty empty folders is just wrong, regardless of whether it creates 'problems'...

I disagree that a change that creates thirty empty folders is wrong a priori. This change appears to be deliberate in order to ensure consistency. Assigning to @hsbt (Hiroshi SHIBATA) to decide whether this should be closed.
