well I'm getting into a .la hell...
you need to rebuild packages which are themselves not invalid and therefore
can't be found by revdep-rebuild...
searching with "grep png12 `find /usr/lib64/ -name '*.la'`" lists all .la
files with a bad png version, rebuilding those will fix the system. after that
all packages found by revdep-rebuild can be emerged.
