I was never a fan of overlays, so I've been doing as Ed W suggests ever since I never received a response to my previous questions on the subject. Back when GCC still had SSP, I didn't think delays with hardened-sources were a big deal. But I think it's telling of the current state of the Gentoo Hardened project that hardened-sources are (certainly) more vulnerable than gentoo-sources, and even vanilla-sources. In any case, it's clear to me now that Gentoo Hardened is more a pet project of a handful of (not very communicative) developers than it is a serious (meta)distribution. -- Mansour Moufid
