opensp (all current versions) has this in the ebuild: RDEPEND=" net-libs/libnsl:0= " this version of libnsl forces a downgrade to glibc-2.25, which may potentially break my existing setup and causes difficulties with system upgrades. Newer libnsl slot works correctly with new glibc, but i am not sure if opensp will work with it.

It seems to be fixed now. I've just reinstalled opensl and it pulled net-libs/libnsl-1.2.0:0/2 this time around, which did not downgrade glibc. I guess it's safe to be closed.
