Translations:Hardened Gentoo/8/en

By choosing the hardened profile, certain package management settings (masks, USE flags, etc) become default for your system. This applies to many packages, including the toolchain. The toolchain is used for building/compiling your programs, and includes: the GNU Compiler Collection (GCC), binutils (linker, etc.), and the GNU C library (glibc). By re-emerging the toolchain, these new default settings will apply to the toolchain, which will allow all future package compiling to be done in a hardened way.
