It turns out libqof requires libgda to work, but this dependency isn't contained in the ebuild. Thus it was unmerged by depclean, as nothing else in my system depended on libgda, and I couldn't fix it directly with revdep-rebuild. It seems its configure system allows building even if it's missing, then it fails due to -Wl,--as-needed in LDFLAGS. Snippets: <snip> checking for GDA...
