I wanted to install app-arch/unar-1.10.8, which requires an ObjC toolchain. I didn't have one, so Portage prompted me to add the `objc` USE-flag to GCC. I accepted the change and reran the merge, in which Portage would first recompile GCC and then install unar. However, unar failed in the pretend with `GCC requires sys-devel/gcc with USE=objc`, because it checks the properties of the existing installed GCC and misses the fact that GCC is just being reinstalled with the USE-flag set. Updating the GCC useflags first and installing unar in a separate invocation of `emerge` works, so I'm not sure whether this is even an issue beyond being mildly annoying.
