Gem that define a Rake Compiler task (pretty much all) interfere with our own. The reason we can't rely on the user defined task is because it's not configured for compiling fat gems, it is usually only configured to compile natively for development purposes.
I also would like the configuration of cibuildgem to not interfere with the gem defined task and not have to ask maintainers to change basic configuration just to make compiling fat gems possible, cibuildgem should take care of this automatically.
For reference, I originally decided to choose running the whole compilation dance in a subprocess and require the gem Rakefile because I felt this would be the right entrypoint to configure CIbuildgem if needed.
