Also, I am under the impression (correct me if I am wrong) that world is a superset of system? So even if you do unmerge openssh, the fact that it is in system will bring it back in when you issue 'emerge -uD world' If you just don't want to deal with openssh right now, you can issue: emerge --update --deep world; emerge --resume --skipfirst; If everything else compiles fine, the first 'emerge' will stop when it hits openssh which refuses to compile, and the second one will tell it to continue after skipping openssh.
