Because the files' datestamps and/or checksums had changed since they
were installed. Portage won't remove a file that has been changed since
its emerge. The most likely cause is that you ran fix_libtool_files.sh.

If you run the files through equery belongs, I expect you will find that
no package owns them, so they can be safely removed.

These files are owned by nothing and used by nothing. all they do is take
up a small amount of disk space. They won't start to think for themselves
unless you have skynet in your USE flags.
