Yes, there's a missing dependency there, introduced by glib2-
introspection being split out of glib2, I assume. The issue actually
lies with devel/lua-gi, which expects to be able to find GObjects
at runtime. I've adjusted it and revbumped wm/awesome and dropped
its "tool" dependency, which really lies with it running lua-gi
during the configure stage to validate it's available.

Thanks for reporting this.
