If you're just looking for PIE support, you don't need any overlays. |
| 16 |
Just unmask gcc-4.3.3-r2: |
| 17 |
|
| 18 |
echo "=sys-devel/gcc-4.3.3-r2" >> /etc/portage/package.keywords |
| 19 |
|
| 20 |
Upon installing/upgrading the ebuild in question, you'll find that a |
| 21 |
set of hardened specs are provided: |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
[1] x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-4.3.3 * |
| 24 |
[2] x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-4.3.3-hardenednopie |
| 25 |
[3] x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-4.3.3-vanilla |
| 26 |
|
| 27 |
If you're installing a system from scratch then, in my opinion, it is |
| 28 |
a lot easier to rebuild a system seeded with a recent (vanilla) |
| 29 |
autobuild stage than it is to use the hardened stages (which are still |
| 30 |
based on gcc-3.4.6-r2 and usually stale in other respects). |
