Recently I had to rebuild my system (RAM failure) and I noticed and captured all the circular dependency problems.

(media-libs/urt-3.1b-r1:0/0::gentoo, ebuild scheduled for merge) depends on
 (media-libs/giflib-4.1.6-r3:0/0::gentoo, ebuild scheduled for merge) (buildtime)
  (media-libs/urt-3.1b-r1:0/0::gentoo, ebuild scheduled for merge) (buildtime)

It might be possible to break this cycle
by applying any of the following changes:
- media-libs/giflib-4.1.6-r3 (Change USE: -rle)
- media-libs/urt-3.1b-r1 (Change USE: -gif)

This is a configuration issue. Portage guides you with what to do temporarily after which you can reset the USE flags.
