For the value of one anecdote, I'm a long-time hardened user and all
of my hardened systems are no-multilib.

Having created some profiles myself for my own purposes. Seems Gentoo
could really use and benefit from Funtoo's Flavors and Mix-ins. Seems
a much better approach than the current profiles situation in Gentoo.

Well, I think that whoever use hardened barely use multilib.

This has not stopped us so far.

Only when using '-d', no?
Anyway, probably the default of hardened should be multilib so we end
up with the same number.

I'm not sure if anything is using that particular profile. I tried to
create a new subprofile myself,

https://archives.gentoo.org/gentoo-hardened/message/ab7ef753aa88f21c8a05d667cf511a24

and wound up (indirectly) using arch/amd64/no-multilib as the parent
instead of your [1]. I think USE="pic" by default is the only difference.

In any case, until it becomes official, I'm probably just going to fake
the profile with a symlink to the no-multilib profile's use.mask. That
at least prevents me from building a multilib gcc, glibc, and sandbox.

One reason might be that:

1) there's barely any use for it,

2) we have too many profiles, and

3) every added profile slows down repoman & pkgcheck seriously.

Hi,

one of the devs said in #gentoo-hardend (IRC, Freenode) a day ago
it’s just not added yet and we should stay on the old one so long.

I personally guess there’s just too much other stuff in was pushed
deeper down on the todo lists.

[gentoo-dev] profiles 17.0 hardened/no-multilib missing?

Hi,
Any reason we do not publish hardened/no-multilib?
I see we have[1] in place and is working if explicitly added.
Thanks,
Alon
