Hm.

# wc -l /var/lib/portage/world
1140 /var/lib/portage/world

Am I doing something wrong? Looking it over, it looks right though.
And --depclean is hopelessly overeager here.

Hm. I guess there's stuff missing from world (linux-gazette*?) or
something's broke. I guess I should quickpkg stuff, run a depclean and
go figure what's missing ;) adding to world/pruning whatever ;) I know
a lot of those "depcleaned" pkgs are wanted/needed, so I missed adding
stuff to world or deps are lacking... Oh well. Not while I'm cleaning
up after the profile-13/gcc-5.4 -> profile-17/gcc-7.2 stuff (I'd
already compiled most with gcc 6.4, with "std=c++14" for C++ stuff. So
not much change there besides pie/no-pie.
