Attempting install of mono on ~amd64 system results in circular dependency:

 * Error: circular dependencies:

(dev-lang/mono-4.9.0.729:0/0::gentoo, ebuild scheduled for merge) depends on
 (dev-dotnet/libgdiplus-4.2-r2:0/0::gentoo, ebuild scheduled for merge) (buildtime)
  (dev-lang/mono-4.9.0.729:0/0::gentoo, ebuild scheduled for merge) (buildtime)

Workaround of installing mono as "minimal" and then reinstalling does work.
