^^^^^^
Don't do that, rather run it on world; or you could do "emerge -pv
@system" Modern portage versions deal with these blockers automatically,
but they need the whole dependency graph to do it. There's no much point
in trying to deal with system and world independently anyway, system
isn't something magical, it's nothing more than a minimum collection of
packages that Gentoo can still run on, a mere list.
-ND to rebuild system doesn't get you anything extra and usually wants
to evaluate half of world as well (usually due to USE=X)
You update system if you want to guarantee yourself a consistent
toolchain after a gcc or glibc update, or just prior to emerge -e world
