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.
