rbenv build failed on Ubuntu 14.04. Must use ruby 2.0.0-p451

I am attempting to build a project in Ruby using rbenv, but get a build error when I run:

rbenv install 2.0.0-p451

I get a build error:

BUILD FAILED (Ubuntu 14.04 using ruby-build 20141208)

Inspect or clean up the working tree at /tmp/ruby-build.20141209122131.15088
Results logged to /tmp/ruby-build.20141209122131.15088.log

According to this post (rbenv build failed on Ubuntu 14.04), this is a problem with Ubuntu 14.4, which ships with readline 6.3, and uses rl_hook_func_t instead of Function. I don't really know what this means, but unfortunately the solution in this post is to simply use Ruby 2.1.1. I cannot use another version of Ruby for this project, so I need a solution that will work in this version of Ruby and Ubuntu.

Side note, I am currently using RVM. It works, but I am having issues that I had hoped would be solved by using rbenv.

Following the answer here:

If you look at the comment at the bottom of the linked gist here:

Someone notes that they created a patch for Ruby 2.0.0-p451, here:

https://gist.github.com/riocampos/b2669b26016207224f06

I recommend trying that one, with the same patch instructions in the SO answer linked above.
