I've been unable to compile the "memcached" gem with REE built with ruby-build.

@evan suggested I submit an issue about it here.

Here is the log of the compile:

I initially submitted it as [ruby-build issue 99](https://github.com/sstephenson/ruby-build/issues/99) but @jeremy pointed out the issue is either with rbenv or the memcached gem.

From @jeremy:

> Looks like this may be because the memcached gem is reinvoking ruby to build libmemcached: https://github.com/evan/memcached/blob/master/ext/extconf.rb#L58

Does anyone have any suggestions for the best way to fix this?
