sys-auth/libnss-compat
  DeprecatedEapi: version 1.2: uses deprecated EAPI 6

Given that it restricts to very specific glibc version do we need the package?

RDEPEND="
        ...
        !<sys-libs/glibc-2.26
        !>=sys-libs/glibc-2.27
"
Comment 1 Marco Scardovi (scardracs) 2021-07-17 11:33:05 UTC 
It's not required by any package, at least on ::gentoo https://packages.gentoo.org/packages/sys-auth/libnss-compat/reverse-dependencies
Comment 2 Marco Scardovi (scardracs) 2021-07-17 11:37:45 UTC 
We are also the only OS that supports it https://repology.org/project/libnss-compat/versions

    sys-auth/libnss-compat: drop un-installable package
    
    libnss-compat could only be installed on a system with glibc-2.26.
    2.26 is not in gentoo for a while. It's unlikely anyone could manage
    to install it.
