Don't quite understand - do we really have to rebuild and reinstall 
whole world on amd64 just to update these libraries?
Rebuilding is not a problem here but reinstalling can be painful because 
of host-based IDS, custom chflags and so on. Looks like a terrible waste 
of resources.
Is there a way to reinstall just these libraries or to get them from the 
net in a secure manner i.e. signed?

Cheers.
