Does this work with 3.0.6?
They are all broken in 3.0.6 as well.
OK, the problem of all stardict stuff is that is completely orphan (lack a maintainer) for a long time, then, I am unsure about how to solve this :(
Probably we should treeclean it simply
I don't think this should be removed if some feature is malfunctioning. If that was a reason for removing and ebuild, you'd remove quite a bit of software from the tree. In addition, your hypothesis is wrong in that stardict has not been maintained for years (last commit May 26, 2016): https://github.com/huzheng001/stardict-3/commits/master Kindly remove this package from package.mask and actually try to communicate with the upstream developer(s).

My heard stopped for a moment when I saw it in package.mask.

Who is going to do that job of maintaining it here? Is anyone willing to proxy maintain it? https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Project:Proxy_Maintainers
Patches are welcome :)
This problem is known to upstream and is better to be discussed there. I posted my findings at issue 41. tl;dr: https implementation for stardict is required, likely some library should be used. There is nothing Gentoo-specific in this bug.
