I spent this day by reading some documentations and examining openSUSE 10.2, and there is something, I don't understand:
Why are there PIE compileg packages in openSUSE, if the kernel doesn't do ASLR on the program codes? Or does it do? (Am I correct if I say that PIE programs are the ones recognized as "ET_DYN" by scanelf?)
Correct. We prepared it for 10.1 and had the hope that the kernel would gain the support soon. The latter however did not happen, but we are leaving it in to be ready (or for people upgrading their kernels later on).
