When trying to upgrade a package that depended on dev-java/jna:4, I was shocked to find that it was pulling in a bunch of x11 stuff, on my headless server. It turns out, it didn't in fact need x11-libs/libXt. (It specifies -Dheadless=true elsewhere in the ebuild, which should have suggested this.) Reproducible: Always
headless=true is only for tests as far as I'm aware and I tried to force build it without libXt (which provides Intrinsic.h) and then: fatal error: X11/Intrinsic.h: No such file or directory
Very interesting. I wonder why it worked for me, or why it's required for you.

I see now, it's because I had the default USE=awt (works without, but haven't thoroughly tested). I guess it may(?) be possible to make it conditional, java team will know better.

Bug 830812 shows that x11-libs/libXt is still required for 5.10.0. Another long-existing bug 762940 suggests that if the ebuild had the 'awt' USE flag and it was disabled then libXt might be redundant, but that is not applicable to this case. As of the commit time, based on experiments in containers created from the gentoo/stage3 Docker image, declaration of x11-libs/libXt as a dependency would only cause 3 additional packages to be installed in a new copy of stage3, none of which would take a very long time to merge, so the benefit of making the dependency optional via the 'awt' USE flag might not be very significant.
