it should be portable across all ELF targets ... after all, you're just adding an elf program header which any elf loader worth its salt would ignore if it didnt support it the code itself though would require GNU as ... but i havent poked through the code before so maybe that requirement is already covered ? > But anyway. My vote goes to alternative method, which can be deployed as > easily as './config -Wa,--noexecstack' prior make. or maybe add it to the default configure code as a normal check ? i'm pretty sure there is no case where you wouldnt want to use the flag if your toolchain supported it -mike ______________________________________________________________________ OpenSSL Project http://www.openssl.org Development Mailing List openssl-dev@openssl.org Automated List Manager [EMAIL PROTECTED]
