The current solution (bail if -z,now is set in the compiler specs) is not one suggested by the hardened team, just need to make that clear, and it's not something we would encourage elsewhere. However until we can provide a solution for such a high-profile package we are not going to make a fuss. Our suggestion was to 'append-flags -nonow' on the server and video driver builds, but when a helpful user tried it, it wasn't enough - we simply haven't had the resource to work it out properly yet. > If you have a different solution, please do submit a > patch for it. With regards to Duncan's (non-hardened) problem, adding: filter-ldflags -Wl,-z,now to x-modular.eclass as he suggests should be fine; his issue is different to that with the hardened compiler in as much as he has added the '-Wl,-z,now' to LDFLAGS as advised by the QA message and the above filter will just remove it again; whereas to deal with the hardened compiler we need to reliably add a flag to all the relevant link commands (the bit that takes the effort is working out which are relevant). Duncan - perhaps it would be useful if you could raise a separate bug about the QA message and Xorg, and attach the diff you apply to x-modular.eclass. -- Kevin F. Quinn
