I've never been able to get mono to build with the hardened kernel extensions active. The problem, as you might have already deduced, is that mono violates some of hardened's protection bits -- specifically, the mono runtime tries to execute data as code. Once mono's installed you can flag the binary to permit this. But during the build, a new mono binary is built then run against some IL code, and it fails.

I have always had success in building mono by keeping a separate kernel around without and of the GRSEC stuff compiled it. It's a pain in the ass but works. I suspect the only real 'solution' would be to somehow hack up the ebuild to detect GRSEC and set the proper flags on the new binary mid-build.

Thank you for your reply. This makes sense. I guess the problem is that I need to run .net as a service on an internet visible server. I do not however want to remove hardened just for the sake of .net support! Do you think it is possible to create an entirely seperate chroot environment on said server, from which to run apache on a non-standard port, which is non-hardened and has mono support?

Cheers,
