            Bug ID: 3127
           Summary: --without-pax configure option no longer effective
           Product: IcedTea
           Version: 3.1.0
          Hardware: x86_64
                OS: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P5
         Component: IcedTea
          Assignee: gnu.andrew at redhat.com
          Reporter: chewi at gentoo.org

In v2, specifying --without-pax prevented configure from trying to detect a
tool like paxctl and no marking would be attempted. In v3, the logic got messed
up and it is no longer possible to disable marking if you have one of the PaX
tools installed. I have looked at acinclude.m4 to confirm this.

This is ultimately the cause of https://bugs.gentoo.org/590348. paxctl seems to
have some trouble with ld.gold but it should never try to use paxctl when
building the Gentoo package.

One easy way to work around it is to give --with-pax=/bin/true.
