gtk+:2 ebuilds have an excessive dependency on gobject-introspection-common, which is not required. Reproducible: Always
Created attachment 351416 [details, diff] patch to remove the extra dependency
You are right: since gtk+-2.24.18 and 2.24.19 source tarballs already contain the introspection.m4 file, a dependency on gobject-introspection-common is not needed. Thanks for reporting! + 20 Jun 2013; Alexandre Rostovtsev <tetromino@gentoo.org> gtk+-2.24.18.ebuild, + gtk+-2.24.19.ebuild: + Remove unnecessary gobject-introspection-common dependency (bug #473862, + thanks to grey dot).
reopening this bug, as gtk+-2.24.21 no longer has m4/introspection.m4 shipped.

Got you. Thanks Alexandre.
