Is there a way to just disable one certain test for glib and hardened? The problem with run-assert-msg-test is that it uses gdb to search for a symbol. On hardened unless the executable to be debugged is marked using "paxctl -mr" the backtrace is broken. And because the testsuite does not mark the exec with those pax-flags the test fails. If you by hand mark the file, the test works, but this is hard to be done in a automated fashion inside of the build process without altering the Makefiles. So again, is there a possibility to just disable this tests for hardened users?
> So again, is there a possibility to just disable this tests for hardened users? no, according to what you said, it'd be more interesting to fix the root cause since it looks like it's feasible. However, a build.log would help a log in figuring out your issue.
