7 COMPAT_VDSO is needed only on systems running a rather old glibc
8 (by current terms), gentoo doesn't even have that one in portage
9 anymore iirc. on the other hand you set your PaX control method
10 to come from the ACL system (grsec here) and i guess you haven't
11 set up any policies for the paxtest binaries, so chances are that
12 nothing is enabled on them by default. you can verify the runtime
13 PaX flags in /proc/<pid>/status - if all are lowercase then PaX
14 is effectively disabled for those binaries/processes.
