What you are interested in, probably, is PIE: position-independent |
| 10 |
executables. These look like shared libraries but are runnable |
| 11 |
programs. These are easy to get using the version 3.4.x compiler and |
| 12 |
‘hardenednossp’ specs. I suspect you will have more fun and fewer |
| 13 |
headaches by using the 4.1.x compiler and no prelink. There are |
| 14 |
already enough extra headaches in amd64 Gentoo, compared to x86 |
| 15 |
Gentoo! :) |
