emerge linux-headers - No Problem - done that now emerge gentoo-sources - Also no problem - done that too! However trying to emerge glibc and gcc I get the Circular Dependecies issue pop up - can you provide a rational and reasoned way of eliminating this particular thorny issue?
That's what you get, if you delay updates for too long. Exact details vary, but the general solution is to look at what's still left in portage tree for both glibc and gcc, update one to the highest version you still can, update the other to the new highest possible version, then repeat till you reach current on both. Don't forget to use gcc-config to select each of the newly emerged gcc each time you manage to go a slot up.
Running "emerge -avuDN world --keep-going" multiple times will also help you to update most of your system. You will also need to read /var/log/portage/elog/summary.log, run revdep-rebuild...
