[gentoo-dev] emerge -U seems to be ignored?

Hi there.
Can anyone explain me the behaviour of U (upgrade-only)?
When I try to emerge -Up --deep world I get several Packages that
portage wants to downgrade.. Seems a little bit odd?

Below one example and some infos.

gcc is masked in packages.mask. That's why -U doesn't work in this particular 
case.

HTH,

It's not just with gcc.  I noticed it last night.  There were 3 or 4
packages besides gcc that wanted to downgrade besides gcc.  If it makes
a difference, I have ~x86 in my make.conf.  However, I've never seen
this behavior with -U before last night.  Then, I never saw the
"--upgradeonly implies --update" message before last night either.
