At this point the jackhammers have gone silent and I'm left with the 
issue I had before:


tortoise ~ # emerge --update --newuse --deep --with-bdeps=y world 
--verbose --backtrack=40 --changed-deps --verbose-conflicts --pretend 
--ignore-built-slot-operator-deps=y

These are the packages that would be merged, in order:

Calculating dependencies... done!

emerge: there are no ebuilds to satisfy 
"media-libs/libsdl2[abi_x86_32?,alsa?,custom-cflags?,joystick?,nas?,opengl?,oss?,pulseaudio?,sound?,static-libs?,video?,X?]".

I then checked my overlays, and it turns out I had an outrageously 
bloated number of layers installed:

tortoise ~ # layman -l

  * poly-c                    [Rsync     ] 
(rsync://rsync.gentoofan.org/poly-c )
  * wichtounet                [Git       ] 
(https://github.com/wichtounet/wichtounet-overlay.git )

I think one of those was because mainline had stopped maintaining 
seamnokey and I needed it maintained. No idea what I was smoking when I 
applied the other or even which is which. In all likelyhood I had a 
problem and applying that overlay solved it and because I didn't have a 
problem after solving said problem, I forgot about it and can't really 
say what or even when it was I had that problem. All I have now is this 
lingering sense that touching those overlays will result in misery and 
suffering so it's best not to even look up how to remove either of them.

eclan still shows a large number of outdated packages on the system so 
there is definitely lots of updating to work if I can get emerge out of 
its current hissy-fit.

Hmm, poly-c is looking like it's a common factor here.
