Brad and the PaX team have always been very helpful if we had any
issues that may have been related to the patch. I have been reporting
build issues with almost every single patch.

This is not much, but at least something that we can give back.

I did that already shortly after I saw the announcement and offered him
to get in touch with me if there is anything we can do to help.

I also commented that I do not really approve the approach he has
chosen to resolve the issue, but that I certainly understand where he
is coming from and that he has my support.
