If glibc would be rebuilt then it would not pull in python-3.10.
Isn’t this because it’s a build time only dependency and therefore it uses the best it can get (i.e newest)? We have a bunch of duplicates for this sometimes confusing behaviour.
This looks like a portage bug to me. Python is only in BDEPEND here; if glibc is not rebuilt, it should not be affected.
Situation does not change after re-emerging glibc.
