Quite the contrary. The hardened is incompatible with gcc 4.x. Thus =sys-devel/gcc-4* is masked in all profiles under hardened. Since you have 4.1.1 installed and no versions in that slot are unmasked it's complaining. I think there's a hardened handbook that you should probably read if you want to use a hardened profile. Switching from non-hardened to hardened is a lot more involved than changing the symlink. http://hardened.gentoo.org -- Bo Andresen
