8 Rebuilding is not necessary. What would probably be a better strategy than
9 an --emptytree is the following:
10
11 find /var/db/pkg -mindepth 3 -maxdepth 3 -name "*.ebuild" -exec egrep -H \
12 "^KEYWORDS" {} \; |egrep -v "[^-]amd64"
13
14 This will find you all ebuilds that do not have any amd64 keywords. You
15 should try to merge newer versions to see whether the new version is
16 supported. If not, they are likely not to work. If the outputted keywords
17 include -amd64 they WILL not work. If they do work and are not marked for
18 amd64 then you might consider to report them.

22 ps. Please remember, keywords do not change packages or the build process.
23 They are only used to determine whether the package should be provided on
24 that architecture/testing level.
