My guess would be that portage cannot assign the broken binaries
(/usr/bin/avibench etc) to an ebuild, and therefore there cannot be
anything to emerge.
They might be orphan binaries from a previous incomplete unmerge, or
something locally compiled, or even files installed from a foreign
package system (.tgz or .rpm perhaps?)

Optimists say the glass is half full,
Pessimists say the glass is half empty,
Developers say wtf is the glass twice as big as it needs to be?
