Gentoo Portage Circular Dependency

I installed a new Gentoo Linux on my box. I'm using Arch Linux for a while now and I thought it was time for something new.

The system runs happily and it is bootable, but I can't figure out how to break this circular dependency between glibc and gcc...

It says this:

(sys-libs/glibc-2.17::gentoo, ebuild scheduled for merge) depends on
  (sys-devel/gcc-4.7.3-r1::gentoo, ebuild scheduled for merge) (build time)
    (sys-libs/glibc-2.17::gentoo, ebuild scheduled for merge) (build time)

The funny is, I have a gcc of version (Gentoo 4.7.3-r1 p1.4, pie-0.5.5) 4.7.3 installed.

What did I break during installation? Can I fix that?

EDIT As requested here comes the info dump:

Please, include output of emerge --info to your question. – VL-80 – 2014-02-22T21:48:06.233

@Nikolay I added the information you requested for. – bash0r – 2014-02-22T21:55:57.160

Ok. There is advice on Gentoo forum how to go around this circular dependency. Briefly: you will enforce installation of gcc without dependencies (as said on forum it should be safe, because gcc is sloted) and after that you will install glibc.

@Nikolay GCC is building at the moment, thanks a lot. – bash0r – 2014-02-22T22:06:12.603

Good. So, I put this as answer to "close" the question. – VL-80 – 2014-02-22T22:17:02.987
