texlive fails to emerge on hardened gentoo.

Emerging app-text/texlive-core-2008

 * QA Notice: The following files contain runtime text relocations
 *  Text relocations force the dynamic linker to perform extra
 *  work at startup, waste system resources, and may pose a security
 *  risk.  On some architectures, the code may not even function
 *  properly, if at all.
 *  For more information, see http://hardened.gentoo.org/pic-fix-guide.xml
 *  Please include the following list of files in your report:
 * TEXTREL usr/bin/mpost-texlive-core-2008
 * TEXTREL usr/bin/mf

Executing usr/bin/mf or usr/bin/mf-nowin
/usr/bin/mf: error while loading shared libraries: cannot make segment writable for relocation: Permission denied

Executing scanelf -lpqt
TEXTREL  /usr/bin/mpost-texlive-core-2008
TEXTREL  /usr/bin/mf

Consequence: "Emerging texlive-basic-2008..."
 * Building format texmf/fmtutil/format.metafont.cnf
fmtutil: running `mf-nowin -ini   -jobname=mf -progname=mf -translate-file=cp227.tcx mf.ini' ...
mf-nowin: error while loading shared libraries: cannot make segment writable for relocation: Permission denied
Error: `mf-nowin -ini  -jobname=mf -progname=mf -translate-file=cp227.tcx mf.ini' failed

I don't have the necesary skills to resolve this. I think that app-text/texlive-core-2008 package needs a patch to be hardened compatible.


Reproducible: Always
