The new gettext-0.17 has a circular dependancy without any use flags involved. gettext-0.17 DEPS libcroco libcroco DEPS glib glib DEPS gettext These are all hard dependencies. The --with-included-glib on gettext doesn't help either.
either the bundled libcroco needs to get used just like the bundled glib is used, or we need to be able to disable the --color stuff that uses glib/libcroco/libxml2 via a USE flag, to work around the circular dep.
i'll just force internal version in gettext to keep things simple http://sources.gentoo.org/sys-devel/gettext/gettext-0.17.ebuild?r1=1.10&r2=1.11
