Thank you, yes, I forgot to check that.

I put in  --ignore-built-slot-operator-deps=y

The conflict is gone but now I have a circular dependency. Recommended
steps:

* unmask and enable the crypt USE flag of sys-libs/glibc
* mask the system USE flag of sys-libs/libxcrypt
* mask >=virtual/libcrypt-2
* unmask virtual/libcrypt:0/1

I'm not really clear on masking.

 1. My /etc/portage/package.accept_keywords has no mention of glibc, so
    I think there's nothing to unmask.
 2. "mask the system USE flag"?  USE flags go into
    /etc/portage/package.use, correct?  Is that "mask" an inexact
    expression?  Anyway, a "system" USE flag?
    $ equery uses sys-libs/libxcrypt
    python-exec: Invalid impl in /etc/python-exec/python-exec.conf:
    python3.7
    [ Legend : U - final flag setting for installation]
    [        : I - package is installed with flag     ]
    [ Colors : set, unset                             ]
      * Found these USE flags for sys-libs/libxcrypt-4.4.27:
      U I
      + - abi_x86_32  : 32-bit (x86) libraries
      - - static-libs : Build static versions of dynamic libraries as well
      - - test        : Enable dependencies and/or preparations
    necessary to run tests (usually controlled by FEATURES=test but can
    be toggled independently)

 3.

    "mask >=virtual/libcrypt-2"
    Like, ">=virtual/libcrypt-2" into /etc/portage/package.accept_keywords, just like that?

 4.

    But virtual/libcrypt:0/1 is not masked (to my knowledge).
