Config vs RbConfig :
https://github.com/ruby/ruby/blob/v1_9_3_327/lib/rbconfig/obsolete.rb#L4
so i understand 1.8.x (latest is 1.8.7 [1]) works with RbConfig too

This patch fixes compatibility with ruby 1.9.
There are far far far deeper issues with ruby 1.8.x != 1.9.x behavior
that need to be addressed.
There is no consensus (no even a goal) stated that might lead to
a more useful implementation. Instead there are gobs of macro magic
glue to enable/disable and otherwise diddle up band-aids to a fundamentally
flawed approach.
Please read my comments (Sept 2009 iirc, +/- a year, was September)
on rpm-devel@rpm5.org on fundamental design differences between
embedding (as undertaken by me @rpm5.org) and bindings for a build
system in ruby (as my existing implementation was (ab)used for).
I see no rational way to extend RPM+RUBY usefully and portably by
applying Yet More Macro Madness (in distro-du-jour dialect), with
known and large differences in embedding behavior between
ruby 1.8.x != 1.9.x implementations, particularly when all the
cool kids interest is in creating a native ruby packaging system,
not in devising more standard ruby *.rpm packaging.
YMMV
