9 I didn't mind that you applied ssp/pie patches regardless of
10 USE=vanilla, I did mind that you applied the stub patches with
11 USE="nossp vanilla", and I also didn't like that this was either done
12 accidentally but ignored when pointed out, or that this was done
13 deliberately with a misleading cvs log message.

21 I don't know how much gcc-spec-env.patch can be trusted, and even if it
22 is 100% safe, such patches don't belong in anything that would be called
23 "vanilla". (I have commented on that patch long before this thread
24 started, so don't think I'm just looking for something to complain about
25 now.)
