+1. Some notes:

• To add -I/opt/include and -L/opt/lib, use --with-opt-dir=/opt
• Do not override CFLAGS. If CFLAGS is provided, it is used as a replacement for default flags (i.e., '-ggdb3 -O3' will not be used unless you specify them)
• Use MAINLIBS to add libraries to the ruby binary only (i.e. no c-extensions). This is ideal for allocators:
  make ruby MAINLIBS=-ltcmalloc
  make ruby-jemalloc RUBY_INSTALL_NAME=ruby-jemalloc MAINLIBS=-ljemalloc
