Re: [gentoo-hardened] gradm grsecurity incompatibility errors

[Brant Williams]

I've run into this same issue a couple of times.  Since I didn't want to 
spend too much time fixing it, I just use the vanilla sources from 
kernel.org and patch them against grsecurity.  Each release of grsec is 
dependent on specific kernels, though, so you'd want to check 
www.grsecurity.net first.
