Hello
AFAIK this has not been done yet so I thought I would ask about it.
Usually, during emerge -e world all packages are recompiled including
binary packages which require no compilation. However, it would be nice
if all binary packages were omitted from emerge -e world so only those
from source are included. That way, time and resources are saved and only
those packages affected by new compiler or compiler settings are
recompiled. How about it?
With regards

On the other hand, when the last time I had to emerge -e world, it was because
I was recovering from severe disk corruption, and I wanted ALL packages
to be redone. The binary packages don't really take long anyways, because they
don't really compile.

Hmm. That's a good point and a good reason to include bins. Well,
injected packages should be omitted anyway.
