Have you moved your /usr/lib* stuff to the new layout yet? I.e.
is /usr/lib a symlink to /usr/lib64 or is it a directory containing
the 32-bit libs? If the latter, gcc is picking up the wrong lib for
this (64-bit) compile.

And anyway, are you on a multilib setup and have both atk (and deps)
and gtk+ the "abi_x86_32 multilib" USE-flags set?

I still have the old /usr/lib* layout, i.e.:
$ ls -ld /usr/lib* | cut -d/ -f2-
usr/lib -> lib64/
usr/lib32/
usr/lib64/
usr/libexec/

and this in make.conf:

CHOST="x86_64-pc-linux-gnu"
ABI_X86="64"

and above mentionend USE-flags for all packages and their deps I
want/need 32-bit libs (and/or binaries)...

HTH,
