In my case I'm not eliminating gcc from my guests, and only using binpackages as a convenience not as the only option, however, the basic principle has worked really nicely. As advised by someone else on the list I created subprofiles for different types of servers and then I can enforce say certain useflags for the nginx servers which are different to the apache servers, etc I think I posted this on hardened, but I'm getting a bit confused which list we are having this discussion on since it seems to be happening on both -embedded and -hardened?
