Mitch,
+1 on the plan, feel free to go ahead and do what you need to do in build.git.
Just pay attention to stuff like: conf/intel/portage/env/dev-lang/python

We may need to think on performance enhance too after some time if hardened
has some bad effect.

We need to decide on our next step for rolling out hardened Sabayon.
My proposal would be
(1) Add all the @system packages to the white list and rebuild them.
(2) Add Xorg to the white list during a time period we'll be able to
react to any issues.
If no issues,

You sure there won't be any optimization of the code breakage and no
performance cost? I'm kinda scared of hardening almost all packages of the
system

Can you try a full blown hardening and pass bugs my way, ie open gentoo
bug reports. I wouldn't just start black/white listing because
somethings might be easy fixes.

My proposal
On amd64, the perf hit will be minimal. On x86 it will be substantial.

Will you be benchmarking both amd64 and x86?

Yes, the purpose of hardened sources is enhanced security.

At this time, I don't have any specific benchmarking agenda planned.
But I do have a x86 and two amd64 side-by-side reference systems for
evaluating issues.
In the past, I haven't been able to observe a significant performance
issue unless I utilized a specially crafted benchmark designed to
