There was an issue with how hardened profile stacking was done. This became apparent when Arfrever cleaned up the duplicate USE flags. Basically hardened/linux/x86 inherited from hardened/linux which disabled unicode, but then inherited from releases/10.0 which re-enabled it. By moving the former inheritance down the list, the hardened/linux profile had the last word. This is how we want it even for other USE flags, so changing the stack order was the right thing to do. Please everyone, test the profiles! Let me know asap if something bad happens! The same change was made to x86, amd64 multi/no-multi, ppc32, ppc64 and ia64. I tested all but ia64. Finally Thanks William for pointing this out, but please open a bug next time so we have a record in our bugzilla regarding what happened and how we fixed it. -- Anthony G.
