I had trouble with qtwebengine. It seemed to be an issue with icu-60.*
but I wasn't prepared to downgrade to icu-59.* just as a test (icu
changes here tend to trigger a rebuild of half of world), and a recent
bug on b.g.o. backed up with I was thinking.

It built fine with this in package.use:

=dev-qt/qtwebengine-5.9.3 -system-ffmpeg -system-icu

Yes, I did do it, favoured bundled libs instead of system ones. But I
was also having similar issues with bundled vs system ffmpeg for kodi,
and this was the easiest way to get past it and finish a 17.0 migration
