I use the with-bdeps=y all the time and had nho real problems emerging
5.24.  It rebuilt about 200 packages and portage detected most of the
mess, but perlcleaner detected about 40 more and one I had to remove,
but it went pretty well for portage.  It seems to have gotten more
intelligent last few months, slow as heck, but I would rather use its
time than mine.
