why not just build pic for everyone on x86 ? define "it'll hurt
performance" ... of course you take a small penalty for code being PIC, but i
dont exactly see smalltalk being such a performance hardcore language to
justify making it special
I was thinking more of a simple 'use hardened && myconf=" .. "' specific
line for this ebuild; but it's probably a good idea offering to more
developers the easy choice of this feature through a USE flag?
you would utilize the "pic" USE flag ... php does this because it, unlike
smalltalk, is very performance critical, and so by default it builds as
non-pic on x86

Thank everyone;
I will go with the pic USE flag option then.
