The package version looks good - I didn't intend to suggest otherwise. The issue is that updates are available for only the two most recent Fedora releases (I think), so older releases won't get any Poly/ML updates. As noted in the linked message, the only reason I can see for disabling the package manager version is to manually install to /usr but instead I recommend installing in a non-conflicting location and setting up environment variables accordingly.

You can specify any prefix to install to - this does not affect how dependencies are found. However, depending on your choice of prefix, you may need to manually add /bin to PATH. Depending on your Linux distribution, it would probably be more idiomatic to do a per-user install to $HOME/.local to avoid cluttering the home directory. Also, if you have Poly/ML installed system-wide via the package manager, you would need to make sure that /bin occurs in the path before the system bin directory, to ensure your user version is found first. There are some instructions previously posted here: http://lists.inf.ed.ac.uk/pipermail/polyml/2017-July/002038.html which also show how to disable the package manager version of Poly/ML on Fedora.

That seems to work, at least on SELinux and Alpine. > OpenBSD seems to still want it to be writeable. I've now changed the ELF exporter to write the data to .data.rel.ro <http://data.rel.ro>. The byte code interpreted version (--disable-native-codegeneration) now builds without a problem on Alpine Linux and on SELinux with hardening turned on. That isn't a complete solution because it doesn't deal with native code but it does show that if code could be handled everything else will work. I see this primarily as future-proofing Poly/ML. It's not unlikely that a future release of, say Mac OS X, might outlaw TEXTRELs.
