It installs fine without systemd (you need a -systemd USE flag).  But,
following the Gentoo Quick Setup instructions from
https://flatpak.org/setup/Gentoo/ produces this not-so-useful result:

    $ flatpak --version
    Flatpak 1.0.6

    $ flatpak remote-add --if-not-exists flathub 
https://flathub.org/repo/flathub.flatpakrepo
    Segmentation fault

Color me unimpressed.  So much for "a next-generation technology for
building and distributing desktop applications on Linux Start"...
