Previously 9eead86 introduced non-commutativity of platforms, and later commit 1b9f7f5 changed the behavior of
Gem::Platform.matchto ensure the callee of#=~was the gem platform.However, when the platform argument is a String, then the callee and argument of
#=~are flipped (see docs forString#=~), which works against the fix from 1b9f7f5.Closes #5938
