So it seems that USE=static is the culprit.

It also fails on the latest in tree version on ~amd64.

There's more than one bug here.

../libfrog/.libs/libfrog.a(convert.o): In function `gid_from_string':
convert.c:(.text+0x984): warning: Using 'getgrnam' in statically linked applications requires at runtime the shared libraries from the glibc version used for linking

^ this is part of xfsprogs, so it would make sense to report it to upstream there

And yes, I checked, this is a regression compared to 4.14.

(.text+0x48e9): warning: Using 'getpwent' in statically linked applications requires at runtime the shared libraries from the glibc version used for linking

^ this is part of readline, so it seems like readline can't be built as a fully functional static lib anymore?!

Anyway, this part goes away with USE="-readline" (so a workaround would be to require that).

OK so following discussion on the upstream bug...

The full static-only build is a Gentoo-only thing (we patch the build system). Upstream only supports "mostly static" (where this leads to a build warning but not to a linkage failure).

Essentially we have three options now:
1) Fix upstream code to work again (not feasible imho),
2) Change the meaning of USE=static to mean what upstream intends, or
3) Remove the useflag.

I tend towards 2). We should add an ewarn then though.
