When eix is compiled using the patched hardened gcc, update-eix can't run (see below). When compiled with the vanilla-gcc it works.

You didn't say which version of eix you're using.
I'm sorry. I'm using the eix-ebuild 0.5.0_pre1, eix itself claims to be 0.5.0_beta.
Can you do a strace update-eix 2>&1 | tail -n 50, and provide the output please?
Please try without ssp enabled. gcc-config -l ; gcc-config foo-hardenednossp I've not looked at the eix code but I think it's written in c++; ssp-all has been known to have some problem on glibc with code that uses vectors.
Hello, sorry for waiting that long. I had to get a vmware for myself since the original image is already deployed. OK, solar's suggestion works (of course ;-) ). I will post an attachment with the strace.

Just tried to repeat this with gcc-3.4.4-r1/hardened and eix-0.5.0-r1, no problem here. Resolving FIXED - Marcel, if the problem still occurs for you with the latest versions please reopen.
