It is non automatic at the moment, but it doesn't make sense to provide an
option that when enabled cause a build failure.

$ grep -r ogr_error_map swig/include/
swig/include/ogr_error_map.i: * $Id: ogr_error_map.i 12444 2007-10-16 17:48:23Z
ajolma $
swig/include/perl/typemaps_perl.i:%import "ogr_error_map.i"
swig/include/ruby/typemaps_ruby.i:%include ogr_error_map.i
swig/include/java/typemaps_java.i:%import "ogr_error_map.i"
swig/include/python/typemaps_python.i:%import "ogr_error_map.i"

So the difference is that the ruby bindings do a include and not a import. The
difference between the two always goes above my head without looking at swig
docs. Anyway the problem is that there's no core maintainer with interest in
ruby bindings.
