For anyone else who hits this sort of problem, I did an

USE=-clang emerge --update @world

(firefox and thunderbird were the only programs I thought this would 
touch), and it worked.

There were a couple of other programs that I guess got pulled in by the 
changed use, but they've upgraded which is the main thing.

Thank you very much
