22 The abosolute only way I got that to quit telling me about a rebuild
23 about some dumb program was to uninstall and reinstall.
24
25 You won't be uninstalling using "emerge -av --depclean
26 =sys-libs/binutils-libs-2.27" becuase there will be dependancies.
27
28 You would have to "emerge -C =sys-libs/binutils-libs-2.27"
29
30 You can either reinstall it using "revdep-rebuild" or "emerge -1av
31 =sys-libs/binutils-libs-2.27"
32
33 Be warned the strip command is also part of the package. If I am not
34 mistaken strip is also used in building program to strip away un-needed
35 symbols and sections from files.
