rake does not figure out anything itself, it merely executes tasks
as instructed by the Rakefile.

The gem you've linked to uses Hoe, a popular tool for keeping Gem
Rakefiles small. It apparently is buggy and unconditionally assumes
the rdoc binary is to be found by calling `Gem.bin_wrapper "rdoc"`
[1] which doesn't look correct at all. -- Therefore, reassigning to
ruby-hoe.
