I'm using hardened-profile and hardened sources for many years on a
stable gentoo system. I don't have any binary packages installed.
Everything works fine. No headache and no suicidal tendencies so far.

There is a ML for gentoo-hardened (gentoo-hardened@lists.gentoo.org).
I think it would be a good idea to ask the guys there, because some 
of them have a very deep knowledge of the underlaying technique.
