while emerging gnome on ~x86, at-spi-1.1.9 failed with the following output:
/usr/lib/gcc-lib/i686-pc-linux-gnu/3.2.3/../../../../i686-pc-linux-gnu/bin/ld:
cannot find -lspi
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make[2]: *** [libatk-bridge.la] Error 1
make[2]: Leaving directory `/var/tmp/portage/at-spi-1.1.9/work/at-spi-

make: *** [all-recursive-am] Error 2
!!! ERROR: gnome-extra/at-spi-1.1.9 failed.
!!! Function gnome2_src_compile, Line 41, Exitcode 2
!!! compile failure
seems to be a self dependency problem because emerging at-spi-1.1.8 and then
upgrading to 1.1.9 worked fine.
Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. build a ~x86 from scratch
2. emerge xfree
3. emerge gnome
