Although I am not on the dev team I have looked at MacRuby a bit,  
including the Makefiles and such.  I think that part of the problem is  
that I don't know how much comes from ruby proper versus just this  
project.  Also there are two ways to build a universal binary:

-arch <arch_one> -arch <arch_two>

This is the way that MacRuby does it right now but generating  
dependency files for this won't work since the gcc backend is being  
executed multiple times to make the .o files universal.

-arch <arch_one>
-arch <arch_two>
then use lipo

this way should be better at dependency tracking since you could have  
the Makefile system track dependencies per arch, but this isn't being  
used right now.

I hope I haven't missed something but I think that pretty much sums up  
the current situation.
