Subject: [gentoo-hardened] Upgrading GCC in hardened

1 I'm running a firewall for our work network using hardened gentoo.
2 Emerges have been working fine until now. I'm getting errors in the
3 builds saying that my gcc is out of date. I've upgraded other machines
4 that had this problem, and had no real problems in the upgrade.
5
6 However, in looking at a gcc-config -l, I noticed that I'm using the
7 3.3.6 compiler, and not the hardened version. I have choices of other
8 compilers that I could upgrade to. Some of them being the hardened
9 varieties. So, I'm wondering which kernel I should upgrade to.
10
11 I seem to remember reading from before that you should not use a
12 hardened compiler unless you are a developer. I don't remember where,
13 but I think that's why I'm not using the hardened version of the current
14 compiler.

16 Here are my kernel choices:
17 [1] i686-pc-linux-gnu-3.3.6 *
18 [2] i686-pc-linux-gnu-3.3.6-hardened
19 [3] i686-pc-linux-gnu-3.3.6-hardenednopie
20 [4] i686-pc-linux-gnu-3.3.6-hardenednopiessp
21 [5] i686-pc-linux-gnu-3.3.6-hardenednossp
22 [6] i686-pc-linux-gnu-3.4.6
23 [7] i686-pc-linux-gnu-3.4.6-hardened
24 [8] i686-pc-linux-gnu-3.4.6-hardenednopie
25 [9] i686-pc-linux-gnu-3.4.6-hardenednopiessp
26 [10] i686-pc-linux-gnu-3.4.6-hardenednossp
27 [11] i686-pc-linux-gnu-4.1.1

30 Which one should I upgrade to?
