It looks like maybe the "smart" USE suggestion prevents application of the || preference adjustment from bug 382421 (which would solve it with dev-python/pypy-exe-bin): > # emerge -pv --autounmask dev-python/pypy > > These are the packages that would be merged, in order: > > Calculating dependencies... done! > > > [nomerge ] dev-python/pypy-7.3.0:0/73::gentoo USE="bzip2 gdbm jit ncurses sqlite -libressl -tk" > [ebuild N ~] dev-python/pypy-exe-7.3.0:7.3.0::gentoo USE="bzip2 jit ncurses -low-memory" CPU_FLAGS_X86="(-sse2)" 19,853 KiB > [ebuild N ~] dev-python/pypy-7.3.0:0/73::gentoo USE="bzip2 gdbm jit ncurses sqlite -libressl -tk" 15 KiB > > Total: 2 packages (2 new), Size of downloads: 19,867 KiB > > * Error: circular dependencies: > > (dev-python/pypy-exe-7.3.0:7.3.0/7.3.0::gentoo, ebuild scheduled for merge) depends on > (dev-python/pypy-7.3.0:0/73::gentoo, ebuild scheduled for merge) (buildtime) > (dev-python/pypy-exe-7.3.0:7.3.0/7.3.0::gentoo, ebuild scheduled for merge) (buildtime) > > It might be possible to break this cycle > by applying the following change: > - dev-python/pypy-exe-7.3.0 (Change USE: +low-memory)

In order to break more buildtime cycles, enable cycle breaking regardless of the state of the all_in_graph variable.
