There's one piece of information missing from the online |
| 18 |
hardened install guide, regarding the state of hardened |
| 19 |
support. Right now, there's no hardened support for the |
| 20 |
latest gcc or glibc, which are the ones installed by the |
| 21 |
2006.1 stage3. For the time being, you need to start with |
| 22 |
the 2006.0 stages. |
| 23 |
|
| 24 |
(The problem is that the hardened profiles have maximum |
| 25 |
versions for gcc/glibc specified, which are lower than what |
| 26 |
is installed by default, so emerge thinks you are trying to |
| 27 |
downgrade.) |
| 28 |
|
| 29 |
As far as GCC goes, Gentoo installs multiple copies of GCC |
| 30 |
side-by-side. You can use the script `gcc-config` to switch |
| 31 |
between them once you have the correct versions installed. |
| 32 |
With a hardened profile you should have at least 3 different |
| 33 |
variants of GCC to pick from. |
