Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge gnome-base/libbonobo-2.8.0

Actual Results:

Created attachment 47750 [details, diff]
patch fixing this problem

This patch fixes described problem, but should be checked if libbonobo doesn't
need concrete libIDL-2 version.

libidl is needed by orbit and is a dep of that package, which is a dep of libbonobo. Not sure why you didn't have it installed, or why it may have been removed after being installed.
