first of all you should add -Wl,--as-needed to your ldflags and try again a
revdep rebuild and remove -Wl,-O1 (that would override the O2 in your cflags
when using ld). the --as-needed would strip out the need to rebuild this
huge ammount of packages when unnecessary because of the pacakges not being
really directly dependant on the library that triggered the rebuild. then
you should check your world file to see if you have the packages that you
really expect to be there and not other ones and then you should try out a
revdep-rebuild. this should fix out your issues.
