mhm, right; /opt/gentoo/usr/lib/portage/bin/misc-functions.sh
(install_qa_check()) does all i want, and the code seems to be
well-written enough to get libintl.so*, and make it executable. however
it doesn't (and as i said, libintl is the only one) :( .

also it seems portage calls install_qa_check rather unconditionally, so
it shouldn't be the case that any pre_src_install (or any other hook)
makes the call to the function disappear.

I'll do further investigation.

Cheers, Markus
