I've stopped reading it years ago; the volume is so insane that I only use it to occasionally to follow references from other sources. So don't be surprised if you don't get an answer. Linus does not read lkml either. > I'm not sure how ELF_PLATFORM is used by ld.so and I don't think it's > a good idea to define it just for enabling stack randomization. > > What do you think ? I suppose we should give it a sane definition. Not sure what would be useful, if it should be like an ASCII string with the processor type or more corse grained like just "mips32r2", should ASEs be mentioned ... Ralf
