Here you go:

root@fireball / # emerge -pv --depclean virtual/blas

Calculating dependencies... done!
   virtual/blas-1.0 pulled in by:

Well, it appeared to only affect gcc here.  We all know I have to have 
that.  lol  Do you really want me to send you my USE line in make.conf?  
I copied it from my old install on another rig and it has been added to 
ever since oh about 2003.  It has some size to it.  Keep in mind, they 
didn't have package.use for a long time too.

I really need to clean out some stuff but want to have time to finish it 
when I start.  I don't have that sort of time during garden season.  I 
need food more than I need a puter.  ;-)
