Hi,
I also had this problem: it was due to the fact I had an old version of
xulrunner installed on my computer.
To address the problem, I only removed xulrunner :
rm -Rf /usr/lib/xulrunner-*
But I think that it would have been better to clean it by using :
emerge -aC xulrunner
Hope it will solve your infinite revdep-rebuild loop,
JC
