What's happening exactly? What problem do you see? I assume there is a gemspec file in the project with a makefile or rakefile task to generate the gem.

Maybe we could contact the maintainer of that gem and ask if they can rename that variable then generate a new gem. It anyway sounds a bad idea to use true as a variable name, since it's a macro in C99 (it's even surprising that they never got any problem with that...).
