Have you specified ruby target 2.5 anywhere in your /etc/portage and, or 
uninstalled/masked ruby 2.4?  The above packages are installed with the 
default ruby 2.4 here:

 ~ $ equery u dev-ruby/xmlrpc
[ Legend : U - final flag setting for installation]
[        : I - package is installed with flag     ]
[ Colors : set, unset                             ]
 * Found these USE flags for dev-ruby/xmlrpc-0.3.0:
 U I
 - - doc                 : Add extra documentation (API, Javadoc, etc). It is 
recommended to
                           enable per package instead of globally
 + + ruby_targets_ruby24 : Build with MRI Ruby 2.4.x
 - - test                : Enable dependencies and/or preparations necessary 
to run tests (usually
                           controlled by FEATURES=test but can be toggled 
independently)
