The problem was the new USE flag +openrc :
I added it to the list in make.conf , remerged -197 ,
remerged the other 4 pkgs as above & all seems to be well.

I have
root:508 ~> grep root /etc/mtab /proc/mounts
/etc/mtab:rootfs / rootfs rw 0 0
/etc/mtab:/dev/root / reiserfs rw,noatime,notail 0 0
/etc/mtab:cgroup_root /sys/fs/cgroup tmpfs
rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec,relatime,size=10240k,mode=755 0 0
/proc/mounts:rootfs / rootfs rw 0 0
/proc/mounts:/dev/root / reiserfs rw,noatime,notail 0 0
/proc/mounts:cgroup_root /sys/fs/cgroup tmpfs
rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec,relatime,size=10240k,mode=755 0 0
I use kernel 3.5.3-gentoo, Nvidia, none of your others ; Lilo ; no raid.
