11 Everyone will get this. The culprit is a change in the
12 pax-utils.eclass [1]. Which adds USE="hardened to every consumer" of
13 the eclass. It changes nothing for non hardened users but forces a
14 rebuild of the affected packages. This unfortunate change was reverted
15 [2] shortly afterwards, so everybody who did the recompile including
16 me :) has to do it again.
