I'm embarassed; I've forgotten the name of the library check script.
I searched all the bin files for 'chk', 'check', 'lib', and got nothing.

Can somebody help me refresh my memory? The script checks all
executables and libraryes and sees if they refer to any libraries that
aren't on the system.

You thinking about revdep-rebuild, which will rebuild broken packages?

"revdep-rebuild -p" doesn't always find all problems, though -- if there's a
deep dependency, or a binary that's installed outside portage, or the
binaries are copied somewhere else by a configure script (like to a chroot
jail), it won't do you much good.

prelink is very good at finding missing or incompatible libraries, but
that's not its real job -- it's just a side effect.
