44 No thats expected. The goal of paxtest was not to show you how safe you
45 were but infact how vuln you are. So.. If you notice in the Makefile it
46 explicitly disables -fstack-protector which covers 2 of the remaining 4
47 areas which exploitation can happen via. Seeing that it's vuln should
48 prove the point why you want/need
49 -fstack-protector/-fstack-protector-all which is handled automatically
50 with USE=hardened =sys-devel/gcc-3.3.3-r6

54 From reading below it looks like your going to be using grsec. grsec is
55 file system independent.

64 No easy work around here if your trying to use 3rd party modules.

66 > 3.Problems with paxtest-0.9.6 (still not in portage). Took it from adamantix.org project page. Can't compile it some error there:
67 sigh yeah.... I've sent Peter Busser patches for this a number of times
68 but for whatever reason he is busy working on other stuff.. The solution
69 is easy enough if I recall. add -lpthread to the LDFLAGS in the Makefile
