emerge lafilefixer && lafilefixer --justfixit

[Comment 2 of-war 2011-03-25 22:09:38 UTC]

Thanks for quick reponse. 
The problem is solved by using fafilefixer, but fixing .la files manually with lafilefixer is normal ?!

Yes and no.
You could have used revdep-rebuild.

For awhile (though I don't recall version number), portage has been running the same set of commands as lafilefixer on newly emerged packages, but the older need to be reemerged to benefit.

Though recently new stage of la file removal has been started, as you may have noticed.
