I think you need to report this upstream too, or else it won't be fixed.
Created attachment 442680 [details, diff] temporary workaround Patch for ebuild which I'm using in my overlay
Created attachment 443616 [details, diff] Proper fix -- set X11_LIBS from pkg-config and put it in LIBADD Here's the proper fix. Confirmed it works on version 0.31 (stable); I'll post it upstream after I check if it's relevant on newer versions as well.
Fix pushed to gentoo repo for all versioned packages. commit c772ac4e3d9c439779e97994d752a4b7afb645c4 Author: Ian Stakenvicius <axs@gentoo.org> Date: Wed Aug 17 16:13:30 2016 -0400 net-misc/spice-gtk: explicitly link libX11 the right way for ld.gold Bug: http://bugs.gentoo.org/585118 Package-Manager: portage-2.2.28
