If the hardened toolchain makes gdb unable to use then you can just
change the toolchain before compiling jabberd2. Use 'gcc-config -l' to
look up the number that belongs to the vanilla toolchain and use
'gcc-config $number' to switch to that toolchain.

Note that paludis uses /etc/paludis/bashrc instead of /etc/make.conf.
Just in case you used paludis to install jabberd2.

I don't know why the ebuild manager of jabberd2 forces the use of
libidn-0.6* - we use jabberd2 with libidn-1.0-r1 without any problems.
libidn-0.6.9-r2 installs fine here - the AC_PROG_JAVAC macro is defined
in libidn-0.6.9/m4/ac_prog_javac.m4 and I don't see any reason why
autoconf shouldn't find it. But I'm not so familiar with the GNU
autotools.

--autoconf.c--
if test "$enable_java" != "no"; then
        AC_PROG_JAVAC
        AC_PROG_JAR
        AM_MISSING_PROG(GJDOC, gjdoc, $missing_dir)
fi
--
So it appears to be only used when java is enabled - you could try to
disable java unless you really need it.
