Bug 619122 – dev-libs/ffcall-1.10-r2 builds ELFs which ask for executable stacks

• Status: RESOLVED OBSOLETE
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Sora Lee 2017-05-20 23:13:35 UTC]

dev-libs/ffcall-1.10-r2 builds ELFs which ask for executable stacks, which causes issues when emerging it's reverse dependencies on a hardened profile. This isn't an issue for version 1.10, so I'd suggest masking version 1.10-r2 for hardened profiles until this can be fixed.

According to this post [1] this has been fixed in version 1.13
