This is not a revdep-rebuild bug (and there's already Bug 125728 for gcc)
seems like something has gone wrong with libtool and libdvbpsi... could you please try removing vlc and reemerging it (remerge libdvbpsi before vlc just in case also)? also could you check for anything weird related to libdvbpsi in compile logs ?
I have: unmerge vlc and libdvbpsi remerge libtool emerge libdvbpsi emerge vlc and now revdep-rebuild only wants to remerge gcc, which is a duplicate of bug 125728, so I guess it's fixed, thanks
