Description Anthony Basile gentoo-dev 2011-07-20 19:34:32 UTC 
The ebuild qemu-user-0.9.0.ebuild makes a check for the existence of /sbin/paxctl to conditionally add -Wl,-z,execheap to VL_LDFLAGS.  This is not a good approach since the existance of paxctl does not guarantee whether or not the emulator binaries will be run under a pax hardened kernel.

A better approach might be to simply sed unconditionally.

Reproducible: Always

dont know the right place but i noticed that app-emulation/qemu-kvm also includes a hardened useflag. You might want to look into that :)

qemu-user has been removed from the tree as its functionality has been superseded by the combined app-emulation/qemu package.  if you find the qemu package does not support something that the qemu-user package did, please file a new bug explicitly detailing things so we can get it added.
