Hi,

>From Gentoo's sys-libs/glibc/ChangeLog :

  16 Aug 2005; Jeremy Huddleston <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
  glibc-2.3.5-r1.ebuild:
  Stable on amd64 and x86 to address issues which cropped up since 2.3.5 went
  stable. This fixes bugs #52374, #85718, #100190.

At least one of the bug reports uses hardened gcc.
So if you're still running 2.3.5, maybe an update to 2.3.5-r1 could
help.
