I think adding a gentoo framework for recomping kernel-specific stuff would be a
good idea.

Imagine, having a
RECOMPILE_AFTER_KERNEL="1" in the ebuild, to state that the package should be
recompiled every time the kernel is recompilerd.

then, when you recompile a kernel,

# kerneldeps-recompile
and hop, voil

Has anyone already thought about this ?

Is it interesting enough to file a bug report - wish - about that ?

I got one reply, for the moment :

It's got my vote.

A "emerge postkernel" command that re-emerges all packages with said variable
would be a very handy thing.
