The first thing I would do it switch your profile to the hardened
profile, and add hardened and pic to your USE flags (this second step
might be redundant as I think the profile sets that automatically, but
it can't hurt). Then do a emerge -uDnpv world and see what it wants to
do. Depending on what it wants to do will determine how risky it will be.
Also, you might want to think about moving to the hardened-sources
kernel, but that would be a significant change from your vanilla
sources, depending on what hardened technologies you want to set.

As far as I know a switch is impossible if you are running latest
glibc. Downgrading is not a good idea at all and I dont think portage
will let you do it. I heard something about SELinux switching to glibc
2.4 so there should be gcc-4.1-hardened not far off.
I should have mentioned this important bit: I'm still with old glibc and gcc
so I can switch, I need to understand if it's a bad gamble or completely
safe.
Or a reinstall is possible.

I will look into this, it can be useful anyway.
