xorg-server asked me to recompile gcc 3.4.5 without hardened specs.

(In reply to comment #0) > xorg-server asked me to recompile gcc 3.4.5 without hardened specs. No it didn't; it asked you to switch to vanilla specs, _not_ to rebuild gcc, i.e. # gcc-config -l to get list of installed compilers # gcc-config [n] to set the compiler to entry number n - choose 3.4.5/vanilla or: # eselect compiler set i686-pc-linux-gnu-3.4.6/vanilla if you're using that, from ~x86 However that said, it doesn't look like you're using the hardened compiler anyway (not so easy to tell from emerge --info). Something strange is going on, because: /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/3.4.5/../../../../x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/bin/ld: gccspec.o: relocation R_X86_64_32 against `a local symbol' can not be used when making a shared object; recompile with -fPIC implies 64-bit (i.e. amd64 not x86). Are you sure you posted 'emerge --info' from the right box? It disagrees with what you pasted from make.conf in your first report.
F*ck...you're right.. Sorry...I must have put the emerge-info in from the box I was using, not from the ssh session...that's actually my laptop's 'emerge info'. Sorry for the confusion.

This has been superceded by events; X now manages the compiler differences intelligently so there's no need to switch around anyway. For the record, the error comes from trying to build gcc/hardened with gcc/vanilla or vice versa. The only safe way to do that it is to use gcc-config to switch to gcc/vanilla, before doing USE="-hardened" emerge gcc. Similarly when going from vanilla to hardened, use gcc-config to switch to gcc/hardened before doing USE="hardened" emerge gcc.
