Hardened has had 2.6 support for quite some time (as you can see from the profile path). However, they still don't currently support GCC 4.1. Something to do about the Stack Smashing Protector (SSP) being completely redesigned. They're working on it, but hardened development is quite slow.

Actually, the recommended procedure is to change the make.profile.
ln -sf /usr/portage/profiles/hardened/x86/2.6 /etc/make.profile
Yeah, that's correct actually. I haven't played with it much, but i hear good things.
I hear it doesn't work with 2.6 or some other useful stuff, so I don't use it. _______________________________________________ Kclug mailing list [email protected] http://kclug.org/mailman/listinfo/kclug
