[Dev] [issue366] [libretools] [mips64el] Shared libraries updates break packages.

How will we check while building?  I don't see an effective way to do
this without knowing which libraries were in the previous version of the
package.

It's not clear from the algorithm's description how to implement it,
I'll think about it after the weekend.

I could try implementing a script to check a single package, using a
database shared between multiple runs.  Would using Python and SQLite be
a problem for this?

Checking while updating would be done by running the script on each new
upload and sending its output to a list.  I don't know exactly which
scripts do this, maybe db-update or something used in it.

Checking while building could use the script with maybe a different
database.
