puma: Windows: puma_http11.so breaking when ruby folder is relocated

I’m trying to repackage rubyinstaller-3.2.2-1-x64.7z with binary gems compiled, including Puma, so we don’t have to install msys64 on customer’s machines.

We don’t always dictate where we install. It may go on C: , P:, N:

When unzipped on a different drive - paths properly set up - I get the dump

p:/NHM/Ruby3221a/lib/ruby/gems/3.2.0/gems/puma-6.4.0/lib/puma/puma_http11.so Exists. P:\NHM\Ruby3221a\lib\ruby\gems\3.2.0\extensions\x64-mingw-ucrt\3.2.0\puma-6.4.0\puma/puma_http11.so also exists.

If I force re-installation of the gem - so it builds with the paths correct for the system - I have no dump, the server starts. But again, would like to avoid compiling on customer systems if possible.
