I switched to Python 3.6 and compiled a new kernel using sys-kernel/genkernel-3.5.0.8. On reboot my system failed to boot. Turns out that the generated initramfs was broken because dev-python/pyelftools has no Python 3.6 support yet so any call to lddtree will fails. However genkernel didn't detect that: > * busybox: >> Using cache > * initramfs: >> Initializing... > * >> Appending devices cpio data... > * >> Appending base_layout cpio data... > * >> Appending auxilary cpio data... > * >> Copying keymaps > * >> Appending busybox cpio data... > * >> Appending lvm cpio data... > * LVM: Adding support (compiling binaries)... > * lvm: >> Using cache > * >> Appending luks cpio data... > * Including LUKS support > Traceback (most recent call last): > File "/usr/bin/lddtree", line 52, in <module> > from elftools.elf.elffile import ELFFile > ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'elftools' > * >> Appending modules cpio data... > * >> Appending blkid cpio data... > Traceback (most recent call last): > File "/usr/bin/lddtree", line 52, in <module> > from elftools.elf.elffile import ELFFile > ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'elftools' > * >> Appending modprobed cpio data... > * >> Appending linker cpio data... > * >> Deduping cpio... > * >> Compressing cpio data (.xz)... > * early-microcode: >> Preparing... > * >> adding GenuineIntel.bin > * >> adding AuthenticAMD.bin > * early-microcode: >> Creating cpio... > 1969 blocks > * early-microcode: >> Prepending early-microcode to initramfs > > [...]

This is not fixed in sys-kernel/genkernel-3.5.2.5 or the fix doesn't work.
