Hi,
Maybe a better way is to emerge hard-masked "gentoolkit-0.2.1_pre3"
(cause it's only tested on x86).
In it there is a new version on 'revdep-rebuild' which allows you to
mask certain dirs, by using (mine):
...
SEARCH_DIRS_MASK="/home /mnt /opt/sun-jdk /opt/vmware/lib /opt/OpenOffice"
...
For more info search for 'revdep-rebuild' on Bugzilla. There one with a
new version (attached)
Think it is the same? version of revdep-rebuild as in the hard-masked
gentoolkit.
