Can you post your kernel config file.

Created attachment 254553 [details] .config and emerge --info files. thanks. Here 'tis, as an attachment. It has happened again with r1. THANKS for looking into this. (p.s. I'm pretty much a newbie; if you notice anything questionable, PLEASE ask or comment)
Okay a couple of things: 1) your problem is happing because you have CONFIG_CROSS_COMPILE=n. I should be #CONFIG_CROSS_COMPILE not set. That's adding the n in front of gcc which makes it fail: make: ngcc: Command not found. The problem has nothing to do with hardening. This was also hit in bug #345417. 2) Unrelated to the bug but a problem on your system. If your using the hardened profile, you should emerge the stable gcc which is currently gcc-4.4.4-r2 and use gcc-config to choose the default compiler, x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-4.4.4. Make sure to emerge -e world with that compiler to get full hardening. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 345417 ***
Yep....... vim .config; change CONFIG_CROSS_COMPILE="" fixed it. The PAX comment made me think it was hardened; now I guess that is where it was when it came across the ngcc. Thanks for your quick reply; thanks for the comments about gcc version!
