Commit b6f2f49b722ffba663afb68a880031c3d09a88d9 unconditionally added virtual/tmpfiles to RDEPEND, when it is never used. The eclass is only used to install a file for NSCD, which is even disabled by default. This change created a dependency loop that prevents building glibc with USE=-* in a new ROOT: * Error: circular dependencies: (virtual/tmpfiles-0-r1:0/0::gentoo, ebuild scheduled for merge to '/usr/armv7a-gentoo-linux-gnueabihf/') depends on (sys-apps/systemd-tmpfiles-246:0/0::gentoo, ebuild scheduled for merge to '/usr/armv7a-gentoo-linux-gnueabihf/') (runtime) (sys-apps/util-linux-2.35.2:0/0::gentoo, ebuild scheduled for merge to '/usr/armv7a-gentoo-linux-gnueabihf/') (buildtime_slot_op) (virtual/libcrypt-1-r1:0/1::gentoo, ebuild scheduled for merge to '/usr/armv7a-gentoo-linux-gnueabihf/') (buildtime_slot_op) (sys-libs/glibc-2.32-r7:2.2/2.2::gentoo, ebuild scheduled for merge to '/usr/armv7a-gentoo-linux-gnueabihf/') (runtime) (virtual/tmpfiles-0-r1:0/0::gentoo, ebuild scheduled for merge to '/usr/armv7a-gentoo-linux-gnueabihf/') (runtime) Maybe add a variable to tmpfiles.eclasss that will skip adding the dependency for cases like this where nothing calls it. The related bugs also suggest separating the tmpfiles_process function into its own eclass to take the dependency with it.
That's a regression.
