I tried to emerge gnash this morning and it failed because I just removed libggi. The gnash ebuild should require libggi as a dependency or use a ggi "use flag" (I don't know if it is possible to compile gnash without ggi).

try rebuilding sdl without the ggi useflag. Gnash does not depend on ggi, sorry. Btw, you should use emerge -uvaND world after changing useflags to avoid such problems.

I had numerous problems with ggi lately, and libSDL with ggi. My build of libSDL has been ggi free since Monday. And I rebuild everything that was left, having a direct ggi dependency before emerging gnash. I prefer to use emerg -puDv --newuse world first and if am satistified with the output I proceed without the pretend option. I may have other things than waiting to be ask questions. Now you are telling me gnash doesn't depend on ggi - seems reasonable to me. So the dependence is indirect and I don't know where it comes from but it is not from libsdl or from any ebuild that has a direct useflag dependency on ggi as far I know.
Sorry, I really do not have a clue where it comes from, but you might want to grep for it in /usr/share/aclocal/ /usr/lib/pkgconfig/ /usr/bin, /usr/lib or anywhere else. Truth is, there is no "libggi" string in gnash. I grepped all the source for it, sorry, I cannot help here :(
