I am building a server (AMD Opteron 64) and as a matter of policy I always run the hardened profile on my servers. Now this is my first time doing an install on an AMD64 architecture with hardened and so far it has gone relatively well. The thing that is giving me the most problems is Grub. When I try to emerge it in the hardened chroot the config script bombs out with an error 'C compiler cannot create executables'. One suggested solution was to disable sandbox in features and try again, no such luck. My next thought was to build a second chroot with a regular (non-hardened) tarball and build a package of grub (compiled using the static useflag) then emerge that in the hardened environment. Does this make sense? Is it likely to work or should I be doing something else? Any help would be appreciated.
Note that simply not using the hardened profile is not an option here. -Mike -- ________________________________ Michael E.
