[gentoo-hardened] Converting new install to hardened (glibc problem)?

[Nedim Cholich]

Hi,

This is my first email to the list and my first attempt at installing
hardened Gentoo (I've been using Gentoo for 4 years now). I apologize if I'm
asking an obvious question. I have been searching for couple of days for an
answer but couldn't find one.

I have a fresh install of Gentoo 2006.1 and I'm trying to convert it to
hardened. I have followed instructions and changed the profile, added USE
flags and when I try to recompile the toolchain it wants to downgrade the
glibc, which is, of course, not allowed.

I've seen various posts on forms and lists but they all start with older
glibc. Also this post
http://www.mail-archive.com/gentoo-hardened@l.g.o/msg00845.html
doesn't even mention glibc, but the fact still remains that glibc will not
be emergable and the toolchain will be inconsistent.

So the question is how to get around the obvious discrepancy between glibc
version 2.4-r3 that comes with standard Gentoo and version 2.3.6-r5 that
hardened profile wants to emerge?

Thanks.
