Is the problem maybe order of building packages?

From your description I see one edge case: Plasma could have been
compiled with gcc-5 but linked to qt still built with gcc-4. Then, qt
was rebuilt after this and is compiled by gcc-5 now.

Without reading the bug report I would guess that is what the bug is
about: Linking plasma against gcc-4 built qt binaries... Even when you
rebuild qt with gcc-5 after this, you'd need to relink plasma.

From your logs, you should see the order in which those packages were
rebuilt and linked.

revdep-rebuild is not always able to perfectly order packages right for
emerge, and emerge in turn has no problem with wrong ordering because
it is rebuilding packages and the dependency constraints are already
fulfilled (read: runtime and build deps are already there). Portage
does not consider rebuilds as a hard dependency/precondition for
rebuilding other packages...

As far as I understood, "--changed-deps" should fix this and also
rebuild packages depending on the rebuilt packages _after_ they've been
rebuilt.

The "--empty" option would have a similar effect, tho rebuild many more
packages.

You could've tried if "revdep-rebuild ... -- --changed-deps" would've
done anything better. I would be interested...
