19 Yes, I've seen it and I've also seen that it is a very old bug that for
20 whatever reason remains unfixed. What I do is to run revdep-rebuild
21 with the -p flag and hand edit the *.la files it finds to show the
22 correct path for libgij and libgcj, which are the two that are
23 perpetually broken on my system. Then on the next run of revdep-rebuild
24 (again with the -p) it no longer complains about those files. Not an
25 emerge solution as you asked about, but one that works anyway.
