15 It looks like you're running Gentoo Hardened. It looks like (from a
16 cursory read of https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Hardened/PaX_Quickstart)
17 that your filesystem may not support extended attributes. What type of
18 filesystem is /var/tmp mounted on?
19
20 Other info like the output of `emerge --info', what kernel you're
21 running, and what profile you're on would be helpful.
22
23 I personally do not run Hardened, so take this with a grain of salt.
