  as a followup to my earlier post, the selinux issue related to mmap
is already well known.  but does this represent these selinux warnings
i get on my f12 system?


Summary:

SELinux is preventing
/home/rpjday/oe/angstrom-dev/staging/x86_64-linux/usr/bin/python from
making the program stack executable.

Detailed Description:

[SELinux is in permissive mode. This access was not denied.]

The python application attempted to make its stack executable. This is
a potential security problem. This should never ever be necessary.
Stack memory is not executable on most OSes these days and this will
not change.

... snip ...

is this the same issue?  and is this related to running qemu-arm?  it
would be nice to have a concise summary of OE-related selinux gotchas
somewhere, and how to deal with them.
