There was an issue with how hardened profile stacking was done. This |
| 11 |
became apparent when Arfrever cleaned up the duplicate USE flags. |
| 12 |
Basically hardened/linux/x86 inherited from hardened/linux which |
| 13 |
disabled unicode, but then inherited from releases/10.0 which re-enabled |
| 14 |
it. By moving the former inheritance down the list, the hardened/linux |
| 15 |
profile had the last word. This is how we want it even for other USE |
| 16 |
flags, so changing the stack order was the right thing to do. |

Please everyone, test the profiles! Let me know asap if something bad |
| 19 |
happens! The same change was made to x86, amd64 multi/no-multi, ppc32, |
| 20 |
ppc64 and ia64. I tested all but ia64. |

Finally Thanks William for pointing this out, but please open a bug next |
| 23 |
time so we have a record in our bugzilla regarding what happened and how |
| 24 |
we fixed it. |
