"emerge -uNDf world" does nothing because the system is up to date. Even if
all distfiles are missing, it does nothing (try to move the distfiles

everything that is missing to update the system". And since the system is
up to date, nothing is needed to update it and it will therefore not
download anything.
What I wanted was "download everything that is missing to reinstall
everything that is currently installed". That is what "emerge -ef world"
should do. Then I wanted to "remove everything that is not needed to
reinstall everything that is currently installed". That is what "eclean
--destructive distfiles" should do. Doing both should result in a set of
distfiles that is "what is needed and only what is needed to reinstall
everything that is currently installed (assuming that the system is up to
date)". But since the 2 commands do not agree, something is broken
somewhere.
Have you checked to see if the files deleted by eclean are the current
versions, or are they old? If they are the most recent you have
installed, then there is a problem with eclean. If not, then the problem
is with --fetchonly
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So it seems like klibc is outdated but "emerge -uDNav world" does not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!
