I emerged patch-2.60 when it hit ~amd64 then downgraded it 10 days later when
a report on b.g.o. showed it was affecting OOo.
Right in the middle of those 10 days, I ran this:
emerge -e world

Yep, this bug was a major annoyance for me too. I emerged patch-2.6 on
November 15 and since then, being on ~amd64, a *lot* of other packages.
After downgrading, I needed to rebuild about 300 packages, including
all of KDE4, Qt, Firefox and OpenOffice.
Quite amazing how much damage a bug in a small package like this can
have on a source-based distro...
