In the 2.2.0 version of the ebuild a change was made that according to the comment in the ebuild was supposed to make gtk the default gui if neither gtk or sdl use flags are enabled. Unfortunately, it ended up enforcing the gtk gui even when not requested. Here's the relevant part of the build log: >>> Emerging (4 of 5) games-strategy/freeciv-2.2.0 * freeciv-2.2.0.tar.bz2 RMD160 SHA1 SHA256 size ;-) ... [ ok ] * checking ebuild checksums ;-) ...
