I think what is more useful is --prune (I'm guessing as I'm not in
front of a Gentoo box at the moment). I usually try:

Here's the output:

These are the packages that would be unmerged:

'Selected' packages are slated for removal.
'Protected' and 'omitted' packages will not be removed.

But doesn't --prune just remove all but the most recent installation
of a given package?
While on the subject, I ran a pretend on revdep-rebuild, and it's
complaining about some broken libraries in GCC...

Now you can remove -p (or --pretend) from arguments and re-run revdep-rebuild.

I'm a little uneasy doing a --oneshot emerge of GCC when I just
recompiled my system twice... I'm not sure how that will affect my
GCC upgrades in the future. I only upgraded a minor version of GCC,
too. Any thoughts?
