To follow-up on my own posting here.... The reason for the dietlibc
failure on gcc-6.4.0 was due to a typo in the dietlibc ebuild ("-nopie"
instead of "-no-pie") which gets activated by switching to the new
Gentoo 17.0 series profiles which enables pie by defaukt.

So if one for now stays with the current 13.0 profiles, gcc-6.4.0 and
dietlibc works as-is.

But the original question about the util-vserver dependency still stands.
