The problem was the new USE flag  +openrc :
I added it to the list in  make.conf , remerged -197 ,
remerged the other  4  pkgs as above & all seems to be well.

Thankyou to another responder, who pointed out the new  /lib/udev/ :
this doesn't affect my system, but it's important to know re it.

I have

  root:508 ~> grep root /etc/mtab /proc/mounts
    /etc/mtab:rootfs / rootfs rw 0 0
    /etc/mtab:/dev/root / reiserfs rw,noatime,notail 0 0
    /etc/mtab:cgroup_root /sys/fs/cgroup tmpfs rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec,relatime,size=10240k,mode=755 0 0
    /proc/mounts:rootfs / rootfs rw 0 0
    /proc/mounts:/dev/root / reiserfs rw,noatime,notail 0 0
    /proc/mounts:cgroup_root /sys/fs/cgroup tmpfs rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec,relatime,size=10240k,mode=755 0 0

I use kernel 3.5.3-gentoo, Nvidia, none of your others ; Lilo ; no raid.
