For example iso-codes and aspell are both reportedly being rebuilt
because linguas_en has changed from ture to false, and cups is being
rebuilt because a half-dozen other linguas_XX flags have changed from
false to true.

I tried adding linguas_en to USE in make.conf, and that didn't help:
emerge still wants to build aspell without linguas_en (and that
linguas_en has changed from active to inactive since the last time
aspell was built):

  # euse -a | grep linguas
  linguas_en          [+ C    ] 

  # emerge --pretend --color=n --verbose aspell

  These are the packages that would be merged, in order:
