How about first making a list of all files needing to be rebuilt with something like emerge -pDuNv @world > builds Then make a file “long” containing names of demanding builds like firefox and qtwebengine, one to a line. Finally, execute grep -f long builds which will print the names of those long builds if they’re due for rebuilding or upgrading. HTH John Blinka >
