I'm not certain what that is supposed to be, but if it is 'emerge -e world' then you should be able to use the -p flag (pretend). 'emerge -ep world' Would show you what it would update.

emerge -e world will rebuild your entire system from scratch. If you just want to update packages, emerge -u world should be fine. Remember to use the -p option first to see what it will build.
However, be very careful upgrading world, because you might get a package that breaks your system. We won't call any names, but well...... GCC 3.2 springs immediately to mind. 
I would emerge -pu world and emerge the packages by hand if I were you. |
