Since the ABI changes/additions add *new USE flags* for packages, when you tell emerge to rebuild packages on finding new/added USE flags, it wants to rebuild them. I usually stick with -U (--changed-use) instead, when emerging world. This only rebuilds packages when the flags *change*. Give that a go.
