I have several systems on which world upgrades are only done with -G/--getbinpkgonly (though this problem should affect -K/--usepkgonly world upgrades too but I haven't checked). On one such system, I cleaned up its binpkg cache and Portage ended up trying to downgrade glibc (why this happened is probably a Portage bug that I've not investigated properly). With builds from source, the ebuild prevents this from happening in src_unpack, but src_unpack isn't executed for binpkgs: 1670284868: Started emerge on: Dec 05, 2022 18:01:07 1670284868: *** emerge --newuse --noreplace --update --autounmask-continue --backtrack=100 --binpkg-changed-deps=y --deep --with-bdeps=y --binpkg-respect-use=y --getbinpkgonly --qui et-build=y --regex-search-auto=y --getbinpkg --usepkgonly --usepkg @world 1670285008: >>> emerge (1 of 1) sys-libs/glibc-2.35-r10 to / 1670285008: === (1 of 1) Merging Binary (sys-libs/glibc-2.35-r10::/var/cache/binpkgs/sys-libs/glibc/glibc-2.35-r10-1.xpak) 1670285017: >>> AUTOCLEAN: sys-libs/glibc:2.2 1670285017: === Unmerging...

I suspect this worked before & got lost in refactoring.
