No, thankfully :-/ But I suspect that the new GLIBC may be the source of
your problem.  The only way that I am aware of to do it correctly is as 
follows:

# init S
# emerge -u glibc
# emerge world
# init 3

If you see a new glibc in the mix, ask yourself, "Do I _need_ to make this
update?" because you'll have to reinstall everything. Sorta like reinstalling
Windows(R), but with far less input, far less stress, and lots of status
messages ;)
