Title: Support for the patch that gets MRI 1.8.7 to build on Fedora 16+.

I couldn't use ruby-build to get MRI 1.8.7 on my Fedora system, and I wanted it so I could test my gems on 1.8.7, so I read up on it and made it work.

I tried to keep the bash clean and simple, but I'm open to any feedback on making the diff better. I hope you'll consider merging this, so rbenv install 1.8.7 "just works" for Fedora users too.
