Currently emerge doesn't know that libxslt needs libgcrypt. So make fails. This can be ascertained with a fresh install of Gentoo Linux. After the base install, the command "emerge kde" (which requires libxslt will fail). Also "emerge libgcrypt" will fail.
This was a problem on the 2004.3 LiveCD, please emerge sync, and see the duped bug (s). *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 61097 ***
