- 7 second FAQ - |
| 13 |
Q) How do I make use of this? |
| 14 |
A) Well currently binutils and gcc are both package.masked pending your |
| 15 |
testing. So you have to unmask them. |
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
Q) How do I unmask and begin testing? |
| 18 |
A) |
| 19 |
mkdir -p /etc/portage/ |
| 20 |
echo =sys-devel/gcc-3.3.3-r2 >> /etc/portage/package.unmask |
| 21 |
echo =sys-devel/binutils-2.15.90.0.3-r1 >> /etc/portage/package.unmask |
| 22 |
USE=hardened ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~x86" emerge -e system |
| 23 |
|
| 24 |
Q) What arches are supported? |
| 25 |
A) Out of the box I/we expect x86/amd64/ppc |
| 26 |
sparc64 requires extra work inside of glibc - cross your fingers that's |
| 27 |
coming soon as well. |
| 28 |
|
| 29 |
Q) What kernel do I need to use? |
| 30 |
A) You can use a number of kernels at Gentoo. The key that is that your |
| 31 |
kernel support PaX Address Space Layout Randomizations. |
| 32 |
So.. grsec-sources, hardened-sources, hardened-dev-sources |
| 33 |
amd64 users will have to use a 2.6.x kernel. |
| 34 |
|
| 35 |
Q) I found a bug what should I do? |
| 36 |
A) Fix the bug and send me a patch. |

Many many thanks to Peter S. Mazinger who has been working with me on |
| 40 |
the toolchain in pappy's absence on the pie/ssp solution. |

- Notes - |
| 43 |
binutils & glibc now add support for uclibc but it's not tested fully so |
| 44 |
so expect it to work out of the box quite yet. |
