Hi,

I hear word in gentoo-dev that linux-headers-2.4.21 has been marked as ~x86, 
enabling glibc to properly implement some features needed for SELinux.
As I am in the process of setting up a hardened box this is a welcome 
addition, thing is selinux-x86-1.4/packages is locking me down to 2.4.19 :(

Is it safe to force portage to install 2.4.21, and recompile glibc ?

Cheers

Yes.  See my SELinux announcement for more info.
