I have

  root:512 lib64> ls -l libxcb-aux.*
  -rw-r--r-- 1 root root  8362 Oct  3  2009 libxcb-aux.a
  -rw-r--r-- 1 root root   984 Jul  3  2010 libxcb-aux.la
  lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root    19 Oct  3  2009 libxcb-aux.so -> libxcb-aux.so.0.0.0
  lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root    19 Oct  3  2009 libxcb-aux.so.0 -> 
libxcb-aux.so.0.0.0
  -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 14232 Oct  3  2009 libxcb-aux.so.0.0.0

also  libxcb-atom.so.1.0.0 : both were installed by  x11-libs/xcb-util-0.3.6 .

It's always a bad idea to do 'emerge world' (without '-p'):
