I've never run a hardened machine, though it's really time I tried it.

libgdm_compat.so.3 links to /usr/lib32/libgdbm.so.3 and (on my non-
hardened) machine neither library needs anything with __guard.  I
think the 'guard' must refer to stack protection or similar that you
find only on hardened systems.

Something very vague in my memory associates 'multilib' only with
non-hardened systems -- but my memory could be wrong instead of
vague :)  Are the 32-bit compatible packages available in hardened
versions?
