User does not understand naming syntaxes of gcc profiles. Marking invalid You only see -hardened in gcc profiles when you merge without the hardened USE flag. Notice the -vanilla (thats what happens when your gcc is built properly with hardened) So.. Your gcc config is correct and your using the right gcc profile for hardened already.
