From: Ulrich Müller Date: Sun, 3 Jun 2012 23:14:22 +0000 (-0700) Subject: Workaround dumping problem on PaX-enabled Linux kernels X-Git-Tag: emacs-24.2.90~471^2~6^2~5 X-Git-Url: http://git.eshelyaron.com/gitweb/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=c71232db6e7a2dbd0cb0830829dcce8285ffa138;p=emacs.git Workaround dumping problem on PaX-enabled Linux kernels * configure.in (PAXCTL): Check for paxctl. * src/Makefile.in (PAXCTL): Define. (temacs$(EXEEXT)): Disable memory randomization for the temacs binary via PaX flags if the paxctl utility is available. (emacs$(EXEEXT), bootstrap-emacs$(EXEEXT)): Restore PaX flags to their default.
