Building RedCloth With Bundler and GCC 4.6

Getting ready to work on a problem in Rails on an Ubuntu Oneiric (11.10) machine, I ran across the following problem running bundle install for Rails core:

$ bundle install

Using rake (0.8.7) 
Installing RedCloth (4.2.7) with native extensions

Gem files will remain installed in /home/malc/.gem/ruby/1.9.1/gems/RedCloth-4.2.7 for inspection.
Results logged to /home/malc/.gem/ruby/1.9.1/gems/RedCloth-4.2.7/ext/redcloth_scan/gem_make.out
An error occured while installing RedCloth (4.2.7), and Bundler cannot continue.
Make sure that `gem install RedCloth -v '4.2.7'` succeeds before bundling.

Until this is fixed in RedCloth, you can work around it by specifying extra build options for bundler which will only be applied when building RedCloth:

$ bundle config build.RedCloth --with-cflags=-w

After this bundle install should work as normal.
