This blocks upgrading glibc. sys-devel/gcc-4.5.3-r2 needs downgrading to previous version in order to be able to upgarde glibc. it is unclear if doing so will actually leave ebuilds emerged with sys-devel/gcc-4.5.3-r2 in a broken state. Expected Results: sys-libs/glibc-2.13-r4 emerges correctly and gcc-4.5.3-r2 honors libssp flag (so when it is *disabled* __guard isnt built as part of the built-in libssp).

It also contains guard symbols.
/usr/bin/gcc and friends are not owned by sys-devel/gcc (any version). Instead, they are copies of /usr/lib64/misc/gcc-config, which is owned by sys-devel/gcc-config. This is a consequence of allowing users to switch the active gcc version cheaply: a binary aware of gcc-config choices must be invoked first, then chain to the real gcc. Rebuild sys-devel/gcc-config, reset your active gcc version, then repeat your test. The problem with libltdl.so.3 is probably a side effect of @preserved-rebuild. Verify that you have libltdl.so.7 (or newer), that you have nothing depending on that old version, then delete the old version.
libssp has never been supported latest hardened systems use native upstream ssp logic
