Is this caused by grsec patch or their gcc plugin? If so, I have nothing to help you I am afraid and I don't know why the gentoo maintainer suggested you to post here. In May 2010, I have posted to the grsec mainling-list and asked about the purpose of setting 'const' the members of a structure. And I got a answer saying > ::: > this is the real reason for making field members const, it implicitly forces > the programmer to think twice about what he's doing. or rather, it would, > ::: At that time, I thought twice and developed a patch doing "indirect assignment". It was a really dirty patch and I really don't like it. Although I am not sure whether your problem is caused by an unpectedly added 'const' in C language or not, the "indirect assignment" approach may help you. But this is a "workaround" in C language level. If the gcc plugin puts a variable in the readonly section (linker level), then the problem will not be solved. If I get the source code of grsec patch and the gcc plugin which you are using, I may say something more. J. R.
