I tried several revdep-rebuild/lafilefixer cycles with similar
frustration (although on another machine it just worked) but rebuilding
everything with -lpng12 in a .la file, as per my last post, allowed
revdep-rebuild to complete.

I try to avoid emerge -e world because

1: It is time consuming.
2: It may still not work after all that time.
3: It is too much like the Gentoo equivalent of a reinstall and you are
   none the wiser as to why it fixed something.
