Were they built with -fpic? Do they include hand-written assembly? Ulrich, is there a FAQ anywhere already to which we can refer people to help them track down the cause of text relocations and fix them (not just working around them in policy)? -- Stephen Smalley National Security Agency -- fedora-selinux-list mailing list fedora-selinux-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-selinux-list
