I see, but the thing is that my system has |
29 |
sys-libs/glibc-2.3.6-r5. I used 2006.1, made the |
30 |
symlink to hardened profile and rsync'ed immediately |
31 |
and emerged system and world. According to forum post: |
32 |
http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-539616-highlight-gcc+hardened.html |
33 |
the "trouble" you're referring to should happen if one |
34 |
has glibc-2.4.x. or later, am I right? |
35 |
|
36 |
I don't want to bother this list too much with my |
37 |
novice questions. Could you please just let me know if |
38 |
I can have a hardened system with |
39 |
sys-libs/glibc-2.3.6-r5 and gcc-4.1.1 and/or |
40 |
gcc-3.4.6? |
41 |

Thank you very much for your time. |
