This issue has been fixed by the rubygems.org admins!  I would like to
apply the below patch ASAP and get to work on 'guix import gem' if
there are no objections.

The major change from the previous version of this patch is that I
figured how to unpack the source gem, allow the package build script
to make any necessary dynamic patches, and then install a repacked gem
as opposed to the source gem.
