ClamD the daemon of ClamAV needs paxctl flagging for use JIT.
I suggest modify the ebuilds.
Add "paxctl -cm /usr/sbin/clamd" (No aspa) to pkg_postinst() in the present and future ebuilds.

This should go to the net-mail group.

I thought there was a pax-mark -m /usr/sbin/clamd` in there.  You can add it to src_install() after the default line.

Are there any news on this?

I had to manually paxctl -m some of the clamav binaries in order to get JIT on clamd working on PaX.

Is there a possibility to add this behavior explicitly as a use flag in order to let it work on PaX enabled systems?


Many thanks.
