executable format.

*** 71,77 ****
ld.so(1)
on ELF platforms now loads libraries in a random order for
greater resistance to attacks. The i386 architecture also maps libraries
! into somewhat randomized addresses. Together with W^X and
ProPolice,
these changes increase the difficulty of successfully exploiting an
application error, such as a buffer overflow.
