  I removed virtual/libcrypt and asked a new build,  It whined about
requiring "static-libs".  So I tried that.  Lo and behold...

=====================================================================

[thimk2][root][~] USE="static-libs" emerge -pv -1 virtual/libcrypt

These are the packages that would be merged, in order:

Calculating dependencies... done!
[ebuild     U  ] sys-libs/glibc-2.34-r10:2.2::gentoo [2.33-r1:2.2::gentoo] USE="multiarch ssp (static-libs) -audit -caps (-cet) -compile-locales (-crypt*) (-custom-cflags) -doc -gd -headers-only (-multilib) -multilib-bootstrap -nscd -profile (-selinux) -static-pie -suid -systemd% -systemtap -test (-vanilla)" 17,047 KiB
[ebuild  N     ] virtual/libcrypt-2:0/2::gentoo  USE="static-libs" 0 KiB
[ebuild  N     ] sys-libs/libxcrypt-4.4.27:0/1::gentoo  USE="(compat) (split-usr) static-libs (system) -test" 605 KiB

Total: 3 packages (1 upgrade, 2 new), Size of downloads: 17,651 KiB

=====================================================================

  Notes...
1) Updating glibc
2) pulling in virtual/libcrypt-2
3) pulling in sys-libs/libxcrypt-4.4.27
4) ***NO BLOCKER MESSAGES***

  I'll run it for real and let you guys know how things went.
