I suppose you got the idea by now ;-) Do you need dev-lang/R? If
not, then "emerge -pv --depclean dev-lang/R". Do you need the
package(s) that this brings up? If not, continue --depclean those
until you reach something that has no other dependencies; meaning you
reached the top level. Do you need *that*? If not, unmerge it, then
depclean everything (just "emerge -a --depclean".)
This should get rid of all stuff you don't actually need/want.
Well, that leads back to KDE. So, looks like it stays.

That is no solution. I highly doubt you need a Fortran compiler :-/ By
adding more stuff to your make.conf as a work-around for problems like
this, you add more and more stuff to your Gentoo install; stuff you
actually have zero use for. By that logic, you could enable every
possible USE flag that exists so that you always have everything, just
in case. But then you should probably be using openSUSE or something
:-P
Well, it appeared to only affect gcc here. We all know I have to have
that.
GCC is a compiler collection. You usually only need gcc and g++.
Fortan, Objective-C, Objective-C++, ADA, Pascal, Java, whatever else
is usually something you don't install unless you know you need it.
But gcc is the one that got rebuilt when I changed the USE flag. So, it
needs it because the other package needs it and in the end, KDE needs
all that stuff. So, the flag is added and I guess it is needed by
something I want to keep. Sort of like my GUI and all. ;-)
Funny thing is, it appears the dev changed it back so after the next
sync, I can shorten my USE line by one flag. Progress. lol
