This is on a sparc system where basically no ruby packages are installed: >>> Emerging (1 of 1) dev-ruby/rspec-mocks-3.3.2::gentoo * rspec-mocks-3.3.2-git.tgz SHA256 SHA512 WHIRLPOOL size ;-) ...

I'm surprised you would run into this in the wild since both rspec-support and rspec-core are already depending on thread_order for tests. In any case rspec 3.3.0 is obsolete and should be removed so I won't spend time fixing it. The only reason it is still in the tree is because I haven't found the time yet to drop the sparc keyword from all packages that depend on it.
Feel free to just remove the ebuild, 3.5.0 is now stable on sparc.
