At least, I can't think of any reason why it would, and I haven't encountered any problems after switching on my own hosts. Just keep in mind that vanilla-sources doesn't support the PaX xattrs properly (AFAIR), so if you ever want to switch *back* from vanilla to hardened, some pax markings will be missing. This shouldn't be an issue for gentoo-sources, though. Cheers, Luis Ressel
