 Some correction: The flags set with paxctl are NOT completely ignored.
 
 Enabling PaX ASLR via paxctl apparently works, at least the crash is
 triggered:
 # sysctl -w security.pax.aslr.global=0
 # paxctl +A -a /usr/pkg/bin/gmake
 
 Disabling PaX ASLR via paxctl does not seem to work, as the crash is
 still triggered:
 # sysctl -w security.pax.aslr.global=1
 # paxctl +a -A /usr/pkg/bin/gmake
