For others who may have encountered the infinite-emerge-binutils
problem, let me report that (as I am sure andreas knows) the depclean
fixes that problem while purging the masked versions of binutils.

Would that the depclean likely have fixed the infinite-emerge-binutils
problem several months ago when it first appeared.  I don't remember
seeing it proposed.

Once again, thank you!
