 Well, Mono needs to execute code it generates on pages it allocates.
 
 We would certainly take patches.
 
 Setting priority to Wishlist.

+As I said above:
+
+"I'm digging my way through to see what needs to be done, but I'm
+assuming you'll need to `paxctl -pemrxs` against this binary during
+building, before using it.  You may wish to use both 'chpax' and
+'paxctl' at this point."
+
+PaX says the offending binary is
+/tmp/portage/mono-1.0/work/mono-1.0/mono/mini/.libs/lt-mono (in
+library lt-mono, but that's irrelavent).  Thus:
+
+paxctl -pemrxs mono/mini/.libs/lt-mono
+chpax -pemrxs mono/mini/.libs/lt-mono
+
+After building lt-mono would remove the restrictions causing the PaX
+kill, if run from /tmp/portage/mono-1.0/work/mono-1.0/ in this case. 
+If I recall correctly, prefixing a command with '-' in a Makefile
+causes make to allow that command to fail; thus, after building
+lt-mono, the last commands should be something akin to:
+
+-paxctl -pemrxs mono/mini/.libs/lt-mono
+-chpax -pemrxs mono/mini/.libs/lt-mono
+
+or, perhaps:
+
+-paxctl -pemrxs $@
+-chpax -pemrxs $@
+
+Where $@ is the target of the current rule (I believe this is proper
+Makefile syntax).
