my mysql works ok even with diallow ELF tex relocations. I don't intend to 
save myself from trouble just by removing security features. I want to 
understand the "why"s behind and to find out if I'm alone with this issue.

thanks for your help anyway.

I've figured out some other interesting stuff:

- chpax is deprecated - I should have used paxctl instead. my kernel is 
configured to use PT flags instead of EI PaX flags.
- glibc, gcc and binutils should be recompiled with hardened and pic flags. 
Will this affect the ELF binary produced by the mod_php compilation? Will it 
work this time, if compiled with PIC? Find out in a couple of days, when I 
have time to do some compilations and reboots.

regards,
pedro venda.
