Comment 1 Miroslav Lichvar 2006-02-03 15:00:29 UTC

Unfortunately it is impossible for guile to link against the qthreads library
due to a selinux policy issue. The library is marked correctly as requiring
executable stack.

Comment 2 Daniel Walsh 2006-02-03 15:11:48 UTC

The library needs executable stack or is built with executable stack?

Does execstack -c LIBRARY fix the problem?

Comment 3 Miroslav Lichvar 2006-02-06 14:53:19 UTC

Yes, execstack -c fixes it, thanks for the hint. There is an assembly source
without the GNU-stack section, so I passed --noexecstack option to the assembler.
