do_mysql fails to build on PowerPC

Reported by Eric White | June 3rd, 2008 @ 02:48 PM

Testing with

data_objects: commit 59ec18e4453a31aa334959ca3ce978e477137d35

File: do_mysql-0.9.1.gem

Building native extensions. This could take a while...

ERROR: Error installing pkg/do_mysql-0.9.1:

ERROR: Failed to build gem native extension.

The RC_ARCHS is unset.

The strange part is the default implementation works if

ENV['RC_ARCHS'] = ''

But it does not work if it is (the default on my machine)

ENV['RC_ARCHS'] = nil

I have attached a patch that works for me on PowerPC.
