I didn't manage to find any references in sources.

see dups for details on the other than xinerama stuff, or here if ostash transfers them here instead of multiple bugs.
I have not confirmed any of that (besides xinerama that I checked via readelf and strings greps, unless there's some other convoluted stuff going on)

Comment 6 Ostashevskyi Viktor 2017-03-14 07:28:15 UTC 
Unneeded dependencies:

x11-libs/libXinerama - no references in sources.

media-libs/libexif - no references in sources.

media-libs/harfbuzz[icu] - grepping through sources doesn't shows any usages of hb_icu_* functions, so plain harfbuzz should be enough.

dev-libs/elfutils - used only for Android builds.

dev-perl/JSON - I didn't find references in sources and confirmed this by successful compilation: "emerge -C JSON && emerge -1 --nodeps www-client/chromium"
Comment 7 Ostashevskyi Viktor 2017-03-14 07:36:08 UTC 
sys-libs/libcap - used in sandbox unit-tests only, sandbox performs direct syscalls, similar bug https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=610836
Comment 8 Ostashevskyi Viktor 2017-03-14 07:55:24 UTC 
media-libs/speex - no references in sources, not even in third_party.
Comment 9 Ostashevskyi Viktor 2017-03-14 21:05:05 UTC 
dev-libs/jsoncpp - see https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=610848
Comment 10 Ostashevskyi Viktor 2017-03-14 21:06:09 UTC 
x11-libs/libdrm - no references except for bundled mesa (which is built as osmesa).
Comment 11 Ostashevskyi Viktor 2017-03-14 22:53:29 UTC 
I am also wondering whether anyone knows why dev-libs/libxml2[icu] is needed. I've built chromium against plain dev-libs/libxml2[-icu] succesfuly.
Comment 12 Mike Gilbert gentoo-dev 2017-04-20 17:36:41 UTC 
Thank you for your efforts here.

I think I will optimistically make these adjustments in the latest ebuild, and we shall see if they cause any problems.
Comment 13 Mike Gilbert gentoo-dev 2017-04-20 17:42:35 UTC 
Please let me know if I missed anything.
