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.


ok, thanks for the update! I'm only interested in grsec, and the
hardened toolchain right now, actually.


As for your glibc needing support for ssp etc...

u're right. It needs patches, though, for PIE and the other stuff.
