You crystal ball is working well. ;-) See the downstream bug at
<https://bugs.gentoo.org/419665>, especially comment 27.

I guess this bug can be closed then.

(--no-site-lisp should work though, even if Emacs was configured
with a non-default locallisppath. And bidi_initialize() could output
a better error message ...)
