I had this same loop last week, and I found this[1] forum thread helpful. Apparently on my and janos666's systems the /usr/lib64/libbfd-2.25.1.so library was erroneously left behind by a previous depclean. If you dare, first make sure the library is not owned by any current package: `equery b /usr/lib64/libbfd-2.25.1.so`. If it's not, removing the file manually should do the trick. Remember to take precautions though, khayyam suggests binpkg but I just took a copy of that library so I could put it back with a rescue system if binutils broke.
