Well, for me:

 emerge -auDNv system

These are the packages that would be merged, in order:

Calculating system dependencies... done!
[ebuild     U ] dev-libs/expat-2.0.1 [1.95.8] USE="(-test%)" 0 kB

Total: 1 package (1 upgrade), Size of downloads: 0 kB

Would you like to merge these packages? [Yes/No]

 -- and --

revdep-rebuild -p. . .

Assigning files to ebuilds... Nothing to rebuild
Dynamic linking on your system is consistent... All done.

I synced and noticed an upgrade to XML-Parser which seems to compile okay 
against expat 2. I'm updating a system now... it appears that it will work.

It did. Then revdep-rebuild did this:

emerge --oneshot =sys-devel/gettext-0.16.1 =dev-perl/locale-mak
etext-lexicon-0.64 =net-libs/liblockfile-1.06-r2 =dev-libs/apr-util-0.9.12-r1 =d
ev-libs/apr-util-1.2.8 =www-servers/apache-2.0.58-r2 =dev-util/subversion-1.3.2-
r4 =media-gfx/graphviz-2.12 =www-apache/mod_perl-2.0.3-r1 =www-misc/libapreq2-2.
08-r1

... worked fine.

I have aother system with X-libs and such (but no Gnome). I'll see how that 
goes...

x11-misc/shared-mime-info-0.21-r1 failed. first needs XML-Parser. Emerged that. 
Then, it complains it needs gettext to work.

So, revdep-rebuilding.

Anyway, it seems like there's a problem resolving emerge order.... I think you 
must emerge -u expat, then XML-Parser, then revdep-rebuild, then auDNv world.

Perhaps forcing rebuild of XML-Parser and gettext after updating expat would be 
a fix?
