+Title: Info about GCC on Hardened profiles
+Author: Magnus Granberg <zorry@gentoo.org>
+Content-Type: text/plain
+Posted: 2010-10-27
+Revision: 1
+News-Item-Format: 1.0
+Display-If-Installed: <sys-devel/gcc-4.4
+Display-If-Profile: hardened/linux
+
+GCC 4.4.4-r2 is now stable in the hardened profiles (on x86 and
+amd64 as of 2010-10-24, other architectures will follow later).
+Starting from this version, SSP support is enabled by default for the
+architectures it is supported on (namely x86, amd64, ppc, ppc64 and
+arm). Previously, GCC 4.3.4 had SSP support but it was not enabled
+by default.
+
+Older GCC versions in the hardened profiles, such as the
+GCC 3.x series will be obsoleted, problems arising on those versions,
+but not applying to GCC 4.4.4-r2 will not be fixed, so please update
+to the new version.
