You could use a similar method, though. How about:
# cd /var/db/pkg
# emerge --oneshot `ls *-*/* | awk '{print "=" $0}'`
That should re-emerge everything without adding it all to the world
file. The problem with this method, though, is that it is not
restartable. If I want to rebuild everything I usually use something
similar to the following method:
# cd /var/db/pkg
# ls *-*/* | awk '{print "=" $0}' > /root/pkgs
# for i in `cat /root/pkgs`; do emerge --oneshot $i && (grep -v $i
/root/pkgs > /root/pkgs2; mv /root/pkgs2 /root/pkgs) done
Once it's done, you're left with a list of packages that couldn't be
emerged for one reason or another which can then be investigated.
BTW, sorry for Outlook.

Actually, that's every package there is an ebuild for, not on the
system. Which is what he wants..
