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
