Interesting. The best solution IMHO would be to patch gtk-query-immodules-2.0 so it writes to $ROOT/usr/lib64/gtk-2.0/2.10.0/immodules.cache instead of /usr/lib64/gtk-2.0/2.10.0/immodules.cache In fact, I am very surprised that it doesn't write to the right directory already (I thought we are passing the complete list of prefix directories to gtk's configure?) Please emerge strace (if you haven't already) and attach the output of "strace gtk-query-immodules-2.0 --update-cache" Also, please attach output of "emerge --info gtk+" for reference.

I am sorry, I misunderstood: you are talking about $ROOT for cross-compiling, not about prefix on another os. Then this is a bit of a problem because with cross-compiling there is no guarantee that we can execute gtk-query-immodules-2.0 at all. And we do want to generate the cache file somehow :/

(In reply to Alexandre Rostovtsev from comment #2) It may be possible to use host's (native) gtk-query-immodules-2.0 for that.
Created attachment 409980 [details, diff] gnome2-utils.eclass patch Please check if this patch works for you.
(In reply to Alexandre Rostovtsev from comment #7) The patch works great. The immodules.cache was installed in ${ROOT}/usr/lib64/gtk-2.0/2.10.0/immodules.cache (for ABI_X86=64) and ${ROOT}/usr/lib32/gtk-2.0/2.10.0/immodules.cache (for ABI_X86=32) without any (visible) issues. Relevant part of the build.log: * Updating desktop mime database ... * Updating shared mime info database ...
