It seems like re-emerging is the common solution here  [1],  as  it  effectively
fixes any permission or timestamp issues.  With that said,  the  problem  should
probably be reported in a more comprehensible manner than "Do not try to  update
included dependency files".

Just in case anyone runs into this problem, I solved by making sure my
umask was set to 002 and then I unmerged and re-emerged the kernel and
recompiled and all was well.

-u is not the same as -U.

The advice was to use -U instead of -N. Both look for USE flag changes,
but -U only rebuilds if those changes affect your system. So use -uUD and
all should be well.
