I haven't been following this thread a whole lot but this may help.  Do 
a emerge -epv world and see if you see any changes there.  It may be a 
USE flag change or it may be something else that you notice.  It's just 
a pretend so it shouldn't take but a few minutes.  May need to use 
'less' or 'more' to scroll through the output easier.

I hope that shows something that will help.
