net-im/skype has a build time dependency on qt. On amd64 it's not needed. Reproducible: Always

I guess it will need emul qtlibs then, no? yes, there is no linking to amd64 libs. also, there is no build-time dependency at all
I think that the following snippet of code in skype's ebuild is responsible for this dependency : src_compile() { type -P lrelease >/dev/null && lrelease lang/*.ts rm -f lang/*.ts } This code is not arch dependent and an - equery belongs lrelease - will tell you that lrelease comes with the qt-core package. So qt-core might not be require for skype to run on amd64, however... it is actually needed to build the package.
It's explained at: https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=443440#c14 per that, we should only add a RDEPEND on emul qtlibs (and keep qt-core for lrelease)

*.qm files are always present regardless of "lrelease lang/*.ts" I don't know if it has any particular advantage to regenerate them, so I'd just punt the qt-core dependency.
