I got circular dependencies error every time I run "emerge gcc -vp". Of course I can emerge gcc if I'll disable use flags or try to emerge with --nodeps those things that cause the problem. It should be fixed anyway.

You should temporarily disable some USE flags (e.g. X cups dbus doc gtk java qt4). Next enable one of these flags and run `emerge -uDN world`. Next enable another flag and run `emerge -uDN world`...
(In reply to comment #2) > You should temporarily disable some USE flags (e.g. X cups dbus doc gtk java > qt4). Next enable one of these flags and run `emerge -uDN world`. Next enable > another flag and run `emerge -uDN world`... > Shouldn't there be a way to emerge despite of circular deps? If I remember correctly, there's such function in paludis. I've posted this bug report to ask, if there is another option than manually disable use flags or if it can be fixed.
Bug #175808.
