Had the same problem here. I recompiled xorg-x11 without 'hardened' and everything was fine. Well almost, got some segfaults with mkttfdir but at least I'm in X again.

but i never had xorg-x11 to begin with!!!

i reemerged kdebase and xfree without hardened... but no luck!

any other suggestions?

it really bugs me big time that i cant access my kde because of some stupid emerge error...

:cry:

I didn't solve it yet. I do not use hardened in any package... right now I'm recompiling for the 5th time, this time using minimal CFLAGS...

Solved for me too.
It seems that the problem was the -fstack-protector flag...

USE="-pic -pie -hardened"
did it for me!

pic Build Position Independent Code. Needed for prelink or the hardened toolchain
pie Enable support for Position Independent Executables

Does this mean you can't emerge/use prelink for now?
Do you only need those USE settings on xorg emerge, or with gcc too?

Having same problem, tried rebuilding XFree with -hardened -pie -pic, no change. So I'm trying to redo GCC with those settings, but I get an emerge block from hardened-gcc that prevents me from emerging plain gcc. Can't even emerge the previous version of hardened-gcc to revert back to that. What's the trick here? At this point I've lost a full work days and just want any way to get back to a working X. I'll sort out the mess later..

Probably a very very suboptimal solution, but it got me working again - unmerge gcc and hardened-gcc, download gcc bin from http://dev.gentoo.org/~avenj/bins/ and untar, remove hardened use flag from make.conf, emerge gcc glibc xfree Luckily I was able to get plenty of work done, by using a coworker's RedHat machine while I recompiled my stuff 10 times.
