"emerge =app-editors/emacs-21.4-r3" failed because it did not emerge libXp first. A workaround is to do "emerge libXp =app-editors/emacs-21.4-r3" but that should of course have been automatic. # emerge emacs -pv These are the packages that would be merged, in order: Calculating dependencies... done!

So it seems Emacs should have x11-libs/libXaw as a dependency regardless of whether Xaw3d is in USE. Would you agree with that?
I have just posted: http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=133515 It appears to be related although not identical.
related to bug 133515 I think, that has been fixed
