Thanks. I'll give that a try in a minute. I found that running
revdep-rebuild -i first failed showing the same sort of error and then
the second time passed showing now errors:

* Messages for package mail-client/evolution-2.28.3.1:

 * gconftool-2 --set /desktop/gnome/url-handlers/http/command -t

 * gconftool-2 --set /desktop/gnome/url-handlers/https/command -t
string 'mozilla %s'

 * Replace 'mozilla %s' with which ever browser you use.

emerge -p @preserved-rebuild still wants to build stuff so I'm
confused as the to the values of preserved-rebuild vs revdep-rebuild.
Things are getting confusing...

OK - tried your command but it's unclear whether it did anything:

c2stable ~ # /usr/sbin/libpng-1.4.x-update.sh
 * Fixing broken libtool archives (.la)
c2stable ~ #


emerge @preserved-rebuild is now running again. I'll post back results later.

Thanks,
