There wasn't a /single/ failure on x86 with these two for me, despite I
compiled it with 3.4.6/4.1.2/4.3.3 - all are hardened and allways with
SSP flags enabled in specs. So at least it worth a try before switching
to vanilla compilers.
Both of these fail for me on hardened amd64, though my admittedly
sketchy memory tells me both built fine when I was running hardened x86
on the same hardware a few months back.
The mplayer failure is the same one that's always caused problems for
SSP -- running out of registers in parts of the assembly code. The OOo
build fails on three separate steps for three seemingly unrelated
reasons, none of which I have had time to chase down.
OpenOffice fails about an hour into compilation for me, so screw that.
All of my desktop machines are amd64 -- x86 users might have better
luck, especially now that 4.x is stable.
If you have any trouble during the 'emerge -ve world', please unleash a
fury upon bugzilla.
