During compilation of x11-libs/gtk+-2.10.6 gdk-pixbuf/libgdk_pixbuf-2.0.la
gets created in ${S} (/var/tmp/paludis/x11-libs/gtk+-2.10.6/work/gtk+-2.10.6).
It contains this:

# grep ^dep gdk-pixbuf/libgdk_pixbuf-2.0.la
dependency_libs=' /usr/lib/gcc/i686-pc-linux-gnu/4.1.1/../../..//libgmodule-2.0.la -ldl /usr/lib/gcc/i686-pc-linux-gnu/4.1.1/../../..//libgobject-2.0.la /usr/lib/libglib-2.0.la /usr/lib/gcc/i686-pc-linux-gnu/4.1.1/../../..//libglib-2.0.la -lrt -lm '

So looking at the first .la file in it's dependency_list:

# grep ^libdir /usr/lib/gcc/i686-pc-linux-gnu/4.1.1/../../..//libgmodule-2.0.la
libdir='/usr/lib'

I believe in this case the message simply means that
'/usr/lib/gcc/i686-pc-linux-gnu/4.1.1/../../..' != '/usr/lib':

# grep -C 1 "seems to be moved" /usr/share/libtool/ltmain.sh
    if test "$absdir" != "$libdir"; then
        $echo "$modename: warning: \`$deplib' seems to be moved" 1>&2
    fi

Why do you think it's significant?
