2 things you could do:

- Only set the RUBYCOCOA_THREAD_HOOK_DISABLE environment variable if  
OSX::RBRuntime.isRubyThreadingSupported? returns false. Note that this  
method is new in trunk. One possible way:

   unless ((OSX::RBRuntime.isRubyThreadingSupported?) rescue false)
     ENV['RUBYCOCOA_THREAD_HOOK_DISABLE'] = true
   end

- Embed the patched Ruby inside your application (actually,  
libruby.dylib, the standard library and the extensions should be  
enough).
