  Thanks for the help. I've migrated my 3 operating Gentoo machines;
main desktop, backup desktop, and an old used Lenovo Thinkpad X201.  The
poor thing was thrashing away for over 18 hours with 657 packages on the
emerge --emptytree!!!  And that's after using a homebrew bash script to
select the max available speed on the CPU.  "time" output...

  I ended up unmerging specific items manually.  Depclean is "rather
agressive", and wants to remove all but the latest kernel, *EVEN A
KERNEL THAT I'M CURRENTLY USING*.  I'm currently on 6.1.67...

  This appears to be a bug in the 6.6.x kernels, which is fixed in
6.7.x.  My 2 desktops and the Thinkpad all have integrated Intel
graphics, so I'll sit at 6.1.67 until 6.7.x, or higher, goes stable.

is already present, but is keyworded "~amd64".
