emerge: there are no ebuilds built with USE flags to satisfy ">=dev-libs/libgpg-error-1.10[static-libs]".
!!! One of the following packages is required to complete your request:
- dev-libs/libgpg-error-1.10 (Change USE: +static-libs)
(dependency required by "sys-fs/cryptsetup-1.2.0-r1" [ebuild])
(dependency required by "cryptsetup" [argument])

Are you aware of the --autounmask option? The comment it provides should contain a hint to the static use flag of cryptsetup.
