Hi,
we also hit this issue on ARM for Fedora. I debugged it little further and found out that the problem lies in C extension that does not specify usage of signed chars explicitly.The default on PowerPC/ARM is to use unsigned char whereas x86 defaults to signed. Fortunately there is a very easy fix -- just compile the extension with "-fsigned-char" flag and you are fine.
I am attaching the patch of extconf.rb file which then adds the flag to Makefile.
