It's also an excellent way to waste several days of one's life that you |

will never get back :-) |

If it's only a few packages affected, a much better idea would be to |
| 13 |
grep through /var/wherever-portage-puts-it to find the CFLAGS for each |
| 14 |
package installed, determine the ones that are not correct, and emerge |
| 15 |
just those with 'emerge -n'. How to do this marvellous grepa nd emerge |
| 16 |
is left as an exercise for the reader, as I'm much too lazy to figure |
| 17 |
it out at almost midnight :-) |

If it's most of the system that's affected, then yeah, emerge -e world |
| 20 |
is probably easier. |
