pax-utils is a small set of various PaX aware and related utilities for 
ELF binaries. It was written for ELF Q/A on Gentoo systems but can be 
used on any distro.

Note: to rebuild the man-pages, you will need xmlto and the docbook-xml-dtd
      packages installed on your system.

== INSTALL ==

make install

You don't need PaX to use the pax-utils. Infact the only thing they 
really have in common is that pax-utils was initially written to aid in 
deploying PaX systems so it includes support for PT_PAX_FLAGS and the 
deprecated but still in use EI_PAX flags. For more information about PaX 
see the homepage at http://pax.grsecurity.net/
