And sometimes if you use --binpkg-respect-use=n and/or --with-bdeps=n you can jostle it into using more of the binaries on both passes.

Additionally, you can use the ebuild command directly to force it to just install things without checking all the dependencies, that's sometimes handy for breaking cycles too.

Do pay careful attention to the merge order though. Make sure any updates to glibc happen first or else you'll wedge your system pretty badly. Having static-compiled busybox installed as a backup is often a good idea.

Alternatively, fully update the system before putting in your world file, and then instead of copying in the world file all at once just run a loop to emerge the lines in it one at a time.

Hi,

What I would suggest is to try yo emerge @world first with a reduced list of USE flags, maybe the default, and after success you could introduce back the wanted USE flags and emerge @world once more.

It could be a bit too much compilation, but if you have already binary packages, it will not be so expensive the second round, IMHO.
