GCC-4.1.2 is masked on hardened, however, the mask refers to a bug that has long been closed Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: emerge -av =gcc-4.1.2 Actual Results: linux ~ # emerge -av =gcc-4.1.2 These are the packages that would be merged, in order: Calculating dependencies / !!! All ebuilds that could satisfy "=gcc-4.1.2" have been masked. !!! One of the following masked packages is required to complete your request: - sys-devel/gcc-4.1.2 (masked by: package.mask) /usr/portage/profiles/hardened/package.mask: # Mask off gcc-4 for all hardened arches until SSP is sorted out (i.e. # backport for gcc-4.0 and 4.0/4.1 rigged for SSP support in the C # library). After that, may still need to be masked on x86 as some # PIC assembler that worked pre-4 fails post-4, e.g. bug #104966). # If you want to play with it, unmask in /etc/portage/package.unmask # but be prepared to rebuild anything you build with gcc-4, later. # 2006-01-11 kevquinn For more information, see MASKED PACKAGES section in the emerge man page or refer to the Gentoo Handbook. Expected Results: Either merge or a reference to a still open bug. linux ~ # emerge --info Portage 2.1.3.9 (hardened/x86/2.6, gcc-4.1.2, glibc-2.6.1-r0, 2.6.22-gentoo-r8 i686) ================================================================= System uname: 2.6.22-gentoo-r8 i686 VIA Nehemiah Timestamp of tree: Sun, 28 Oct 2007 23:30:01 +0000 app-shells/bash: 3.2_p17 dev-lang/python: 2.4.4-r5 dev-python/pycrypto: 2.0.1-r6 sys-apps/baselayout: 1.12.9-r2 sys-apps/sandbox: 1.2.17 sys-devel/autoconf: 2.61-r1 sys-devel/automake: 1.9.6-r2, 1.10 sys-devel/binutils: 2.18-r1 sys-devel/gcc-config: 1.3.16 sys-devel/libtool: 1.5.24 virtual/os-headers: 2.6.22-r2 ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="x86" CBUILD="i686-pc-linux-gnu" CFLAGS="-march=i686 -msse -mmmx -O3 -pipe" CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc /usr/kde/3.5/env /usr/kde/3.5/share/config /usr/kde/3.5/shutdown /usr/share/config /var/bind /var/www/localhost/htdocs/zoph /var/www/localhost/htdocs/zophcvs" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/env.d /etc/gconf /etc/php/apache2-php5/ext-active/ /etc/php/cgi-php5/ext-active/ /etc/php/cli-php5/ext-active/ /etc/revdep-rebuild /etc/terminfo /etc/udev/rules.d" CXXFLAGS="-march=i686 -msse -mmmx -O3 -pipe" DISTDIR="/usr/portage/distfiles" FEATURES="distlocks metadata-transfer sandbox sfperms strict unmerge-orphans userfetch" GENTOO_MIRRORS="http://distfiles.gentoo.org http://distro.ibiblio.org/pub/linux/distributions/gentoo" PKGDIR="/usr/portage/packages" PORTAGE_RSYNC_OPTS="--recursive --links --safe-links --perms --times --compress --force --whole-file --delete --delete-after --stats --timeout=180 --exclude=/distfiles --exclude=/local --exclude=/packages --filter=H_**/files/digest-*" PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/var/tmp" PORTDIR="/usr/portage" PORTDIR_OVERLAY="/shared/portage /usr/local/gentoo-webapps-overlay/production-ready /usr/local/gentoo-webapps-overlay/experimental" SYNC="rsync://rsync.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage" USE="acpi apache2 berkdb cgi cracklib crypt cups exif gif hardened jpeg jpeg2k maildir midi mysql nptl nptlonly pam pic png readline ssl tcpd tiff urandom usb x86 xorg xpm zip zlib" ALSA_PCM_PLUGINS="adpcm alaw asym copy dmix dshare dsnoop empty extplug file hooks iec958 ioplug ladspa lfloat linear meter mulaw multi null plug rate route share shm softvol" ELIBC="glibc" INPUT_DEVICES="mouse keyboard" KERNEL="linux" LCD_DEVICES="bayrad cfontz cfontz633 glk hd44780 lb216 lcdm001 mtxorb ncurses text" USERLAND="GNU" VIDEO_CARDS="svga" Unset: CPPFLAGS, CTARGET, EMERGE_DEFAULT_OPTS, INSTALL_MASK, LANG, LC_ALL, LDFLAGS, LINGUAS, MAKEOPTS, PORTAGE_COMPRESS, PORTAGE_COMPRESS_FLAGS, PORTAGE_RSYNC_EXTRA_OPTS
Well, gcc-4.1.2 still isn't ready.
