My suggestion: make those language bindings being separate

instead of the current, build-breaking hack.
I'm not advocating gentoo should do this step alone, but
instead join in the upstream and solve it there.
The issue is upstream related, we can workaround it using a way to
express that requirement (usedeps, checks in pkg_setup, whatever),
obviously trying to cooperate with upstream in order to get the optional
bindings build w/out the main program would make our life simpler and
probably their as well.
Partial builds are quite a problem since they are anything but reliable.
