Looks like kadu uses an internal version of libgadu-1.80:

/var/tmp/portage/net-im/kadu-0.6.0.2/work/kadu/libgadu/configure: VERSION=1.8.0

The kadu configure script offers a useful option:

  --with-existing-libgadu do not compile libgadu, link with existing one

which is now controller by a USE flag. AFAIK this is against the Gentoo Way - we should always prefer external to internal libraries.

*kadu-0.6.0.2-r1 (04 Feb 2009)

  04 Feb 2009; Robert Buchholz <rbu@gentoo.org> metadata.xml,
  +files/kadu-0.6.0.2-kill-strip.patch, -kadu-0.6.0.1.ebuild, -kadu-0.6.0.2.ebuild,
  +kadu-0.6.0.2-r1.ebuild:
  Do allow building against internal libgadu, remove USE flag. This solves bug
  #256509 (file collision), bug #247990 (internal library copy) and security bug
  #244888 (buffer overread in libgadu). Do not strip binaries (bug #251995).
