I check with the file klibc-1.5.8.tar.bz2.
# emerge -up klibc
These are the packages that would be merged, in order:
Calculating dependencies... done!
[ebuild U ] dev-libs/klibc-1.5.8 [1.5]
So it seems like klibc is outdated but "emerge -uDNav world" does not
want want to update it!
# equery d klibc
[ Searching for packages depending on klibc... ]
sys-apps/v86d-0.1.3 (dev-libs/klibc)
localhost ~ # grep sys-apps/v86d /var/lib/portage/world
sys-apps/v86d
So sys-apps/v86d is in world and depends dev-libs/klibc, but yet "emerge
-uDNp world" does not want to update dev-libs/klibc, like "emerge -up
dev-libs/klibc" wants to!
