So this flow works (logs: https://gist.github.com/anonymous/0251d407026fa3530f17):

tar xjf ~/.rvm/archives/ruby-1.9.3-p385.tar.bz2 --strip-components=1
autoreconf 2>&1 | tee /tmp/1.9.3-autoreconf.log
./configure --prefix ~/tmp/ruby-bin --disable-install-doc --enable-shared 2>&1 | tee /tmp/1.9.3-configure.log
make -j 10 2>&1 | tee /tmp/1.9.3-make.log
make install 2>&1 | tee /tmp/1.9.3-make-install.log

And this one not(logs: https://gist.github.com/anonymous/c382657cc12f9c2779b6):

tar xjf ~/.rvm/archives/ruby-1.9.3-p385.tar.bz2 --strip-components=1 --touch
autoreconf 2>&1 | tee /tmp/1.9.3-autoreconf.log
./configure --prefix ~/tmp/ruby-bin --disable-install-doc 2>&1 | tee /tmp/1.9.3-configure.log
make -j 10 2>&1 | tee /tmp/1.9.3-make.log

What's the motivation to touch?

Tarballs include files generated at packaging, so there are some dependencies.
