To give you a full and specific explanation I'd need some more context. For a 
somewhat less specific explanation I can tell you that the problem is that it 
tries to link against a broken lib. In your original mail it was 
the '-lpango-1.0' which made it link against the broken pango library (just 
to exemplify what kind of info is needed).

Without that information and without digging through the deps manually you 
have a couple of options. One is to try `revdep-rebuild -i --deep`. 
Using --deep may result in emerge getting the ordering correct. The other 
option is to abuse `emerge --skipfirst` and when done restart with the 
rest...
