My kernel has been XT-only for ages now, so no change required here. I
installed install-xattr and applied the portage patch. So far I've
reemerged python:2.7 - it worked fine and the duration was much more
bearable than with the python-based install wrapper (down from 8
minutes to 4 minutes, but still worse than the ~2 minutes in the good
ol' days with vanilla install). I'll test more ebuilds in the next days.
PS: I wonder if sys-apps/paxctl could be removed from the @system set
now, as it's obsolete and superseded by elfix.

There are two advantages to paxctl over paxctl-ng from elfix: 1) It
doesn't depend on elfutils to do its manipulation of elf phdr's. 2) It
does try to convert or create a PT_PAX_FLAGS phdr by either creating
(-C) or converting (-c) a PT_GNU_STACK phdr.
The advantage of paxctl-ng over paxctl is 1) it is designed to do both
PT_PAX and/or XATTR_PAX markings, 2) it is consciously designed to not
try to create/convert ELF phdr's.
If we ever drop the PT_PAX_FLAGS patch from binutils then paxctl would
no longer be needed and paxctl-ng can be reduced to just doing XATTR_PAX
markings.
One step at a time ;)
