My friend have this same problem like me.. and use hardened too..

Reopen with the error you get, we can't guess.

After emerge --sync

 ** Skipping packages. Run 'fixpackages' or set it in FEATURES to fix the

That is neither an error or a bug, and it's in no way hardened-specific... :=)

man make.conf

FEATURES
...
fixpackages
Runs the script that will fix the dependencies in all binary packages.  This is run whenever packages are moved around in the portage tree.  Please note that this can take a lot of time.
