Yes, post whatever you want. It would be very nice to get all of the steps
easily documented to be followed by others. I may be able to improve the
build to accommodate gentoo differences in the future.

keep Cinelerra supportive to grsec-hardening!

Am backing up my current development system now but that is going to be
awhile.
Then I will attempt to install Gentoo with grsecurity Which is the best
versions
to use as I am not familiar with either of these?

If you could supply a list of install / build environment prerequisites
this would be very helpful. If not, I will just use the gentoo minimal
install
plus development prerequisites until the demands are clear. Before I
begin, I
need a system backup. This may take several hours.

Yes, I have several systems, the build system is a 12 core, and my devel
system
is 24 core amd opteron, suitably amped with storage. They are not state of
the art,
but pretty close. I usually try to stay off the bleeding edge.

It is pretty obvious that your expertise is well beyond the level you
feign, perhaps
to help you past barriers of prejudice. If you have good advice, please be
open
to sharing when it seems like an advantage. Thanks for your help and
attention.
