>Description:
        I modified my local build to set MKPIE for a few executables, and
        to mark them for ASLR with PAXCTL_FLAGS=+A.  This works fine in a
        native build or a cross-build from OS X 10.5 on i386.  But in a
        cross-build from OS X 10.4 on powerpc, paxctl appears to
        misinterpret the ELF headers.  Is this a byte-order problem?

        For example:

        /home/tls/nbtools/bin/nbpaxctl +A telnet
        nbpaxctl: Bad ELF size 13312 from `telnet' (maybe it's not an ELF?): 
Unknown error: 0

        For any executable, the error (and misread size) are always the same.

>How-To-Repeat:
        In a NetBSD/i386 build hosted on Mac OS X (powerpc) 10.4, add
        MKPIE=yes and PAXCTL_FLAGS=+A to the Makefile for any executable.
