The compilation of sdl-image (by emerge) fails. It looks like it tries to use -lgpm and that this library is missing.

sdl-mixer-1.2.5-r1 seems to have same problem. The bug was solved by emerge gpm.
No, you're libraries are out of sync with your use flags. You should do emerge --newuse -vuD world and then revdep-rebuild. both packages build fine without gpm installed if the rest of your build environment is correct.
Sorry to say but that didn't work for me. Running "emerge -NvuD world" just didn't emerge anything. I have just run "emerge --sync" (on monday) and also "emerge -NavuD world". Gentoo was installed on saturday. I have also tested again, calling: "emerge -C gpm" "emerge -NavuD world" "revdep-rebuild" Running "emerge -1 sdl-image" doesn't work. Well, I don't want to bother. If you want, you may just leave it this way, it is fine to me.
