Description PaX Team 2014-10-13 09:20:47 UTC 
the configure script of elfix uses the CFLAGS+=... idiom to append things but this apparently doesn't work in dash so compilation fails later when the PF_* symbols don't get defined. i also wonder why there's even a need for defining symbols via CFLAGS when configure already emits HAVE_DECL_* for the checked PF_* symbols.

Reproducible: Always

Okay its fixed in master/HEAD at git.overlays.gentoo.org/proj/elfix.git and it'll be out in the next release.

I didn't switch to HAVE_DECL_PT_PAX_FLAGS yet.  I originally wrote it that way because of the scripts/setup.py, but I could probably switch when I refactor that code.

If the bug fix is not released yet, should the bug really be closed?
