But that would be too easy, no wonder no-one mentioned it :-)

It probably is the right thing to do though. You don;t actually know
every package that's affected, and no easy way to find out and no way
to find false negatives.

So the correct approach is to realize that a complete rebuild finishes
in a reasonable time, and then do it.

hmm, my approach in that case would be to get /usr from a recent stage3 tarball 
and then running emerge -e world

but maybe there is a reason why nobody came up with that already :-/

What about a script that looks for all installed packages, looks at what they
installed into /usr/include, and extracts those files from the sources?

Just some basic thoughts:

Get all file lists for installed packages:
find /var/db/pkg/ -type f -name CONTENTS

# extract package name and version from path of the file, e.g.
/var/db/pkg/kde-base/kdelibs-4.9.1/CONTENT
would yield name = kde-base/kdelibs, version = 4.9.1

Find out the source archive file from the ebuild (there's probably a nice
python way for this. As a last resort, some one-liner like
emerge -pvfO "=$name-$version"|sed -n '1s_.*/\(.*\) .*_\1_gp'
which gets the filename of the first URL that emerge spits out.

Now extract all those files from the source archive whose path starts with
/usr/include in the CONTENTS file.

No, it won't; if enough files from /usr/include are gone/borked, most
packages will fail compilation. glibc alone has ~450 files under
/usr/include; and basically everything depends on glibc.

Oh.  That's pretty easy to fix though.  Install a new Gentoo in a 
chroot, and then rsync its /usr/include into the real one.

if he learnt from that episode he now creates packages so he can easily repair

3. Also I'm going to keep kernel .config and /boot intact.
4. World file will be also backed-up and during reinstall I'm going to
strip it of unnecessary Gnome packages to switch to KDE.

Did I missed something? Should I take care of something else?


From your problem description, you don't seem to need to install from 
scratch.  You say your /home isn't broken, your /etc isn't broken, your 
/boot isn't broken, your world file isn't broken.


So what *is* broken?  The hardware?  If you have a new PC, you simply 
need to transfer your Gentoo install to a new hard disk using rsync.
