Passing install flags when installing gems with bundler

Due to Mavericks having some issues with selecting the right C-compiler sometimes when running bundle install I have to install some of my gems with special flags.

One example of this is I have to run: gem install nokogiri -- --use-system-libraries. This is further discussed here: Error to install Nokogiri on OSX 10.9 Maverick?

So my question is: Is there a way to tell bundler to use system libraries when installing nokogiri? Or is there a way to tell gem install that it should install as "deployment"-gem.

Any other suggestions as how to solve this problem or why I'm having it would be very welcome.

You can tell bundler about flags to use when installing gems with

bundle config build.nokogiri --with-system-libraries

This sets this as a global default, ie this setting is stored in ~/.bundle/config. To store it for the current project only, run

bundle config --local build.nokogiri --with-system-libraries
