The hardened use flag refers to toolchain hardening and not kernel hardening.  The two are independent of one another, so a user can run hardened userland and vanilla kernel or vice versa.  So the conditional 

Reproducible: Always

continuing previous comment ...

So the conditinal 

   hardened? ( =sys-kernel/hardened-sources-2.6* )

should be removed.  Also note that this atom is listed twice in RDEPEND, one with and one without the conditional.

Why would this be a problem?

Sorry, I didn't explain myself.  Its not a problem in itself, I just wanted to draw your attention to the fact that all you need to do is remove the following line

    hardened? ( =sys-kernel/hardened-sources-2.6* )

to address this issue.  The other line

    =sys-kernel/hardened-sources-2.6*

should stay.

I've made the change with mpagano's okay.
