The directory is (neccesarily) not updated by the build, so it keeps
trying to build. The proposed fix is to use the name of the dynamic
library containing the extension. This is a partial fix for the
rebuilding reported at [1].

The ruby MakeMakefile generates a makefile that is suboptimal, which has
CFLAGS like this:
CFLAGS = $(CCDLFLAGS) -march=x86-64 -mtune=generic \
-O2 -pipe -fno-plt -fPIC $(ARCH_FLAG)
This works as long as the user doesn't modify the Makefile.
Certain flags (namely -fPIC) need to be present regardless of what
CFLAGS are specified.
The Makefile should have done this instead:
CFLAGS = -march=x86-64 -mtune=generic -O2
override CFLAGS += $(CCDLFLAGS) -pipe -fno-plt -fPIC $(ARCH_FLAG)
Unfortunately they didn't, so we need to workaround their lack of
foresight.
We can simply add the necessary flags in the parent Makefile so everyone
is happy.

Use `makefile-gmake-mode' instead of `makefile-mode' because the
former also highlights ifdef et al. while the latter does not.
"./Makefile.global" and one "Makefile.local" failed to specify any
major mode at all but doing so is necessary because Emacs does not
automatically figure out that these are Makefiles (of any flavor).
This way, one can build for a different Ruby than $PATH/ruby
(e. g. different versions, or Ruby in other paths).

In addition to use ${srcdir} and deliver ${NOTMUCH_SRCDIR} where needed,
source from ruby bindings had to be copied to the out-of-tree target
directory -- if the source files in source directory were referenced
in build and there were also built object files there, those could have
been considered as target files (and then not found when attempting
to create bindings/ruby/notmuch.so).
The usual make message on everything being up to date is:
make: Nothing to be done for 'all'.
However, since

build: integrate building ruby bindings into notmuch build process
if one doesn't have the ruby dependencies installed, the message has
been:
Missing dependency, skipping ruby bindings
Restore the usual behaviour by dropping the message. It's redundant
during build anyway, since the configure script already outputs:
Checking for ruby development files... No (skipping ruby bindings)
This is supposed to help build on systems like MacOS with different
conventions for naming shared libraries. We have already computed the
relevant names, so doing it again in ruby seems like a bad idea.
Because ruby generates a Makefile, we have to use recursive make.
Because mkmf.rb hardcodes the name Makefile, put our Makefile{.local}
in the parent directory.
