Description Dror Levin (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2010-06-19 16:28:26 UTC
As per this conversation on irc:

<spatz> phajdan-jr: btw, same with hardened useflag and -Dv8_use_snapshot=0
<phajdan-jr> spatz: that's more complicated
<phajdan-jr> spatz: one can have hardened-sources running and not use the hardened profile
<spatz> phajdan-jr: oh, the problem is the kernel? I see
<phajdan-jr> spatz: if you _really_ want to get it in, you can write a patch for the build system
<phajdan-jr> spatz: if you can get the right PaX marks for the mksnapshot binary, everything is going to be fine
<phajdan-jr> spatz: I've tried once, but it got reverted because it broke build on Windows or something :~/
<phajdan-jr> spatz: so feel free to file a bug so I have it in my queue; I might try again when I have more time for some experiments

This is now fixed by detecting a pax-enabled kernel.
