This is due to PaX 'exec-protecting' the stack, and ld.so then trying to make the stack executable due to some libraries not containing the PT_GNU_STACK section. Add dl_execstack-PaX-support.patch, bug #32960. - We do not want name_insert() in iconvconfig.c to be defined inside write_output() as it causes issues with PaX. *glibc-2.3.1-r5 (16 Nov 2003) 16 Nov 2003; Martin Schlemmer glibc-2.2.5-r9.ebuild, glibc-2.3.1-r5.ebuild, glibc-2.3.2-r2.ebuild, glibc-2.3.2-r3.ebuild, files/2.2.5/glibc-2.2.5-getgrouplist.patch, files/2.3.1/glibc-2.3.1-ftw.patch, files/2.3.1/glibc-2.3.1-getgrouplist.patch, files/2.3.2/glibc-2.3.2-dl_execstack-PaX-support.patch, files/2.3.2/glibc-2.3.2-iconvconfig-name_insert.patch, files/2.3.2/glibc-2.3.2-propolice-guard-functions-v2.patch, files/2.3.2/glibc-2.3.2-propolice-guard-functions.patch: - A bug in the getgrouplist function can cause a buffer overflow if the size of the group list is too small to hold all the user's groups. More info can be found at: https://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2003-325.html - Fix a memory leak in ftw_dir - To circumvent problems with propolice when linking binaries statically among things, __guard and __guard_setup__stack_smash_handler is now in libc.so. More info at: http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/hardened/etdyn-ssp.xml Thanks for helping in developing these patchsets goes to "moid" from the Openbsd team. - We do not want name_insert() in iconvconfig.c to be defined inside write_output() as it causes issues with PaX. 09 Nov 2003; Mike Frysinger : Fix sscanf.c compilation.
