GCC 4.4.x & hardened gcc + uclibc issues are being worked on by Magnus and |
| 14 |
crew of helpful people (tinhat folks have some representation too ;). Feel |
| 15 |
free to come by #gentoo-hardened on irc.freenode.net and help hardened/uclibc |
| 16 |
along if you are able to contribute. |

I must object to "instead" terminology. GCC 4.3.x is current stable with the |
| 19 |
rest of Gentoo as well, many other packages still require GCC 4.4.x porting. |

It comes down to perspectives and goals. Hardened has been active, but |
| 22 |
on "life support" for almost 2 years now. Due to time+manpower constraints, |
| 23 |
the project has been forced to concentrate on our core which is the more |
| 24 |
mainstream/traditional x86-32 & x86-64 installations. If you are very |
| 25 |
uclibc/embedded oriented then yeah, its broke (so come help :). |
