The gentoo "way" in this case is revdep-rebuild, and you've already stated that your servers do not have a compiler.
You need to either expose the linkage dependencies outside the binpkg,
or introspect it when you're about to install it to find that it's NOT
going to work.
zmedico/portage folk: Can we have a phase during binpkg install, that
lets us check ELF linkages before the files get moving to ${ROOT}?
