Hi,<br><br>This is my first email to the list and my first attempt at installing hardened Gentoo (I've been using Gentoo for 4 years now). I apologize if I'm asking an obvious question. I have been searching for couple of days for an answer but couldn't find one. <br><br>I have a fresh install of Gentoo 2006.1 and I'm trying to convert it to hardened. I have followed instructions and changed the profile, added USE flags and when I try to recompile the toolchain it wants to downgrade the glibc, which is, of course, not allowed. <br><br>I've seen various posts on forms and lists but they all start with older glibc. Also this post<br><a href="http://www.mail-archive.com/gentoo-hardened@lists.gentoo.org/msg00845.html">http://www.mail-archive.com/gentoo-hardened@lists.gentoo.org/msg00845.html </a><br>doesn't even mention glibc, but the fact still remains that glibc will not be emergable and the toolchain will be inconsistent.<br><br>So the question is how to get around the obvious discrepancy between glibc version 2.4-r3 that comes with standard Gentoo and version 2.3.6-r5 that hardened profile wants to emerge?<br><br>Thanks.<br>
