For a complete list of packages that should be rebuilt, you can run:

equery belongs `ldd /usr/sbin/smbd  | grep ' /' | awk '{print $3}'` | 
sort | uniq

This will print the name of every package that contains a library that 
smbd depends upon.

I would not rebuild the entire system at this point, but if -ftracer 
does turn out to be the source of your problem, then a rebuild should 
scheduled soon!
