This is based on a quick read of your post. If you are just now
noticing that .la files are missing, you are in for a treat. They have
been removing .la files for quite some time now.
I would suggest running revdep-rebuild and it may take a few times. I'm
not sure if using a 2.2 version of portage would help on this or not.
