A grimoire is a collection of spells(like debian repositories a collection
of packages)

DEAD totaly and completly no work has happened in years... As there was
little to no interset among the developers to maintain it. That's how we
work basicaly. And to point out it was only libselinux stuff that acctually
did anything there afaik.

As for your glibc needing support for ssp etc... I must say I already seen
the ssp in effect with no extra patches... Some fvwm module I tried loading
triggered the ssp and it refused to run. It's probably something in glibc
as well but it's probably integrated upstream(running glibc 2.4 or 2.5 here
:) )
