This oneliner does more or less what checkrdeps does ...

The main problem is that it will _not_ work without using --as-needed...

This might be intentional, currently the QA policy about this is not clear. 
See bug #151758 . I don't want to see dependencies over zlib removed for 
instance, you can easily find a way to reproduce packags failing to merge 
because zlib is broken, and emerge -e world does not merge them before zlib 
(the same applies to paludis and pkgcore as far as I can tell).

As I said on that bug, IMHO system dependencies should be stated unless 
obvious (libc, gcc, binutils), problematic for porting (findutils, net-tools) 
or creates circular deps (shadow).
