[ruby-core:96306] [Ruby master Bug#9312] Build the ruby executable in bin/

Issue #9312 has been updated by mame (Yusuke Endoh).

Backport deleted (1.9.3: UNKNOWN, 2.0.0: UNKNOWN, 2.1: UNKNOWN)
Status changed from Feedback to Rejected

Closing as it is not a bug.

A ruby binary that is built but not installed is half-baked.  It is very hacky to run it without installation; it requires setting library paths, GEM_HOME, etc and etc.  In the build process, the half-baked ruby binary is invoked with this script: https://github.com/ruby/ruby/blob/master/tool/runruby.rb

So I guess that just putting `bin/ruby` does not solve the issue.  And, as far as I know, rbenv works well without this feature, so I'm unsure if it is really needed.

----------------------------------------
In order to allow Ruby Switchers to directly use a Ruby that is built but not installed (such as trunk or a branch), the ruby executable should be placed in the bin/ directory.
