Description Christian Affolter 2006-09-25 04:56:17 UTC 
The uclibc/x86/hardened profile tries to overwrite the masked hardened use flag via uclibc/x86/hardened/package.use.mask (which is masked from default-linux/package.use.mask).

Unfortunately the syntax seems to be wrong:
"-sys-devel/gcc hardened"

According to the portage man page it should be "sys-devel/gcc -hardened"

However, I recommend to change the content of uclibc/x86/hardened/package.use.mask to:
sys-devel/gcc -hardened
>=sys-devel/gcc-4.0.0 hardened

this way gcc-3.x.x will have the hardened use flag re-enabled and for gcc versions higher than 4.0.0 disabled (which was intended by default-linux/package.use.mask)
