What I had installed was 3.2.6... so why would emerge want to install
something older? (3.2.16)  I don't get that.

But anyway I let the prune command run, removing 3.2.6  I then
manually removed /lib/modules/3.2.6 and what was left of /usr/src/linux-3.2.6

eix now shows that 3.3.4 is the only kernel installed,

eix -Ic gentoo-sources

But still the last line of output from: emerge -vuDp world:

I guess I'm still a bit confused.
