Not the patch set so much as gcc itself and the hardened profile enabling of -fstack-protector in the spec. It sounds like upstream may explicitly disable it, but it probably wouldn't hurt for the ebuilds to do so as well if it is known to cause problems, at least until gcc fixes whatever they're doing wrong. https://lkml.org/lkml/2017/12/29/488 -- Rich
