Find out binary dependencies of gem

I want to build rpm with my Ruby app and its gems. As far as some gems depends on binaries I want to find out them automatically. For example nokogiri gem depends on libxml. Can I fetch all this dependencies for all gems in Gemfile automatically to pack them into rpm?

Now I do it mannualy and this is boring!

No, unfortunately, this is not possible. RubyGems only records Gem dependencies. It obviously cannot record any dependencies it doesn't know about, how would that even work?

There is a requirements attribute in the gemspec, but that is only intended to be human-readable, not machine-readable.
