Please add --with-bdeps=y to your command line. If the updates still don't show up, post the exact command and the output, otherwise it's intended behavior.
ok, --with-bdeps=y brought in the remaining updates, thx. how can i make it permanent? if i want to keep all packages up-to-date?
echo EMERGE_DEFAULT_OPTS=\"--with-bdeps y\" >> /etc/make.conf

Note that there is not much point in doing so, as build-only deps are only used to build their reverse dependencies. If a reverse dependency is updated the build-only dep will be updated too.
i'd like to update them anyways, so the out-of portege programs can benefit from their updated versions before their reverse dependencies get and update. say A is a build time dep B is a package that need A to build C is a software not in portage if i update everything C can use A2 before B2 released if i don't, then C uses A1 until B2 released (In reply to comment #4) > (In reply to comment #2) > > ok, --with-bdeps=y brought in the remaining updates, thx. > > > > how can i make it permanent? if i want to keep all packages up-to-date? > > > > You can add it to EMERGE_DEFAULT_OPTS in /etc/make.conf.
