It's the emerge --dynamic-deps option, which is enabled by default. If you want to use --dynamic-deps=n, then you may need to fix some dependencies of installed packages, which you can do by running emerge @changed-deps. There's also a --changed-deps [1] option that can be applied to @world updates, which will be included in Portage 2.2.16.
