libXt e libXft must filter out -Bdirect ldflag in http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=114008 you can find the motivations (apps not working/starting) these are the only X packages that seems to need that, plus http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=125465 (marked fixed) Thanks.
Diego, can you confirm?
Hmm I'm not sure if I'm using anything that uses them... Which package is xdvi in?
i use xdvi in ptex latex distribution however you just need xpdf to check, same problem.
I'd rather avoid motif, I'll try to build tetex +X later on today.
i noticed problems on xdvi, xpdf, emacs and gv install what you prefer :)
Fixed, thanks!
