Checking the tarball I created as well as the official nightly snapshot 1, the test-unit-3.2.4.gem is just broken symlink:

$ ls -la /builddir/build/BUILD/ruby-2.5.0-r59180/gems/test-unit-3.2.4.gem
lrwxrwxrwx. 1 mockbuild mockbuild 40 26. čen 15.34 /builddir/build/BUILD/ruby-2.5.0-r59180/gems/test-unit-3.2.4.gem -> ../.downloaded-cache/test-unit-3.2.4.gem

I might just guess that the troubles started with r58833
