What you are interested in, probably, is PIE: position-independent executables. These look like shared libraries but are runnable programs. These are easy to get using the version 3.4.x compiler and ‘hardenednossp’ specs. I suspect you will have more fun and fewer headaches by using the 4.1.x compiler and no prelink. There are already enough extra headaches in amd64 Gentoo, compared to x86 Gentoo! :) -- Barry.SCHWARTZ at chemoelectric.org http://chemoelectric.org Free stuff / Senpagaj varoj: http://crudfactory.com (PDF) 'Democracies don't war; democracies are peaceful countries.' - Bush (http://www.whitehouse.gov/news/releases/2005/12/20051219-2.html)
