8 Your filesystem doesn't have xattr support, but portage is trying to set
9 extended attributes on a file. You might want to enable extended
10 attributes on the filesystem in question, or if you have a good reason
11 for disabling them, setting FEATURES="-xattr" in make.conf will make the
12 warnings go away.

16 Only a guess: those packages try to do funny stuff at runtime and need
17 special exceptions on hardened systems. The exceptions get stored as
18 extended attributes when PAX_MARKINGS="XT" (this may be/become default).
