ruby-lxc broken by liblxc 4.0.4: undefined symbol: lxc_config_parse_arch

[ganto]

When checking if my various LXC-related RPM packages still work with the latest Fedora version, I found that ruby-lxc is not working anymore. When trying to use it with the latest lxc-4.0.4 I get the following error:

Traceback (most recent call last):

I guess it was broken by commit 63c2a0b: confile: hide unnecessary symbols.

Was this intended? Is ruby-lxc still supported?
