The lines # Hardened: gdb needs this, bug #338891 if host-is-pax ; then pax-mark -mr "${BUILD_DIR}"/tests/.libs/assert-msg-test \ || die "Hardened adjustment failed" fi are a no-op since at time of execution the file "${BUILD_DIR}"/tests/.libs/assert-msg-test is not yet build (it is build in emake check). (Another question is whether it is intended behaviour for pax-mark to not fail if the file does not exist.) I suggest to remove this piece of code (and maybe also inherit pax-utils but I have not checked if it is used elsewhere) which gives the false impression that bug with gdb and PAX is fixed/handled properly. An approach to marking the (to be build) executable assert-msg-test is to call paxmark.sh in glib-2.50.3/tests/run-assert-msg-test.sh, e.g. add paxmark.sh -mr ./assert-msg-test to that file as indirectly suggested by Antonio Basile in bug #504020 comment 5 [0].

I've removed pax marking from 2.60.6, though with meson they would be built at this point (but at a different location than ../.libs/.. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 676440 ***
