Could be seen as a bug in revdep-rebuild, not to bail out in such a case.
What version of gentoolkit do you have installed?
I had 0.2.0, I've since upgraded to 0.2.3-r1.
gentoolkit-0.2.0 was released over three years ago. The first version to support --library was gentoolkit-0.2.1 The revdep-rebuild from gentoolkit-0.2.3-r1 will work, however I recommend running that version without the -X option.
