Hardened profiles: Yes there's a difference, no you should not switch to |
| 2 |
hardened/linux/${ARCH} at this time. |

You can get skype working by downloading or building gcc 4.1.x and pointing |
| 5 |
LD_LIBRARY_PATH at the shared object directory when starting skype. skype |
| 6 |
won't be using hardened toolchain but since its closed source and you're |
| 7 |
willing to switch the whole machine to non-hardened I figure you probably |
| 8 |
don't mind. ;) |

Example: |
| 11 |
1. Download |
| 12 |
http://tinderbox.dev.gentoo.org/default-linux/x86/sys-devel/gcc-4.1.2.tbz2 |
| 13 |
2. unpack the archive to ${HOME}/tinderbox-pkgs/sys-devel/gcc/ |
| 14 |
3. Run it: |
| 15 |
LD_LIBRARY_PATH="${HOME}/tinderbox-pkgs/sys-devel/gcc/usr/lib/gcc/i686-pc-linux-gnu/4.1.2/" |
| 16 |
skype |

If you only require VoIP capability and not skype specifically you might be |
| 19 |
interested net-im/ekiga. |
