5 testing x86 glibc-2.3.2-r3 with this patch, it applied clean and i am
6 compiling it in my chroot now to give it some packages to emerge.
7
8 if the tests with common packages and putting it on a live workstation
9 at my site here prove successful, we could put this product into our
10 portfolio as complementary improvement to PaX preventing executable code
11 on the heap and propolice protecting the stack from linear overflows.
