Have you run "lafilefixer --justfixit"? I wonder if you have old .la
files from packages emerged before portage 2.1.9.
After running it once, you shouldn't need it anymore since portage
will auto-fix them upon installation.
You should run the lafilefixer command before trying revdep-rebuild,
or else you might have a lot of unnecessary emerges.
AFAIK the usage of .la files is basically deprecated and only a few
packages still require them. Flameeyes posted a lot of details about
it on his blog last year. (http://blog.flameeyes.eu)
