IMHO, you should never do stuff like `emerge -u world` automatically (if you 
are using ~x86).  Sometimes stuff gets unmasked that shouldn't be (the most 
famed being glibc and gcc) and stuff breaks.  I would not recomend doing 
`emerge -u world` without doing and closely examining `emerge -up world`.
