Seems it is caused by Gem::Ext::ExtConfBuilder.build.
It insert -r#{siteconf_path} to RUBYOPT, and the path is cwd, which is under the installed gem directory.

I'd suggest to use just base name in RUBYOPT and pass cwd by RUBYLIB instead.

If build never accept -C option, just "-r#{siteconf.path}" is enough.

This should be fixed by 4de117a61517e839f2c45eaf45d56fc243d6d5b2, which updated to Rubygems 2.4.1 and removed the use of RUBYOPT from Gem::Ext::ExtConfBuilder.build.
