Added speculative fix to overlay, please test.

I deleted the obsolete distfile and emerged libsoup-2.39.4.1 successfully. When I tried to emerge libsoup-gnome-2.39.4.1, it failed with the same error.

Apparently our custom patch we use to to split the package up wasn't good enough, and tld-data that isn't required for that package was still getting built.

Push fixed.
