Well, I noticed that when I ran revdep-rebuild -p mine wanted to
reemerge gcc too, so I let it.  Then I went back and ran revdep-rebuild
again and it still wants to reemerge gcc.  I did the next thing I could
think of and did a emerge -e system.  When I ran revdep-rebuild -p again
afterwards, it wanted to reemerge gcc again.

Same as the OP, why does it want to go in circles reemerging gcc??  :-/
