Greetings, and thanks for the feedback!  WOuld you mind excerpting the
C routines corresponding to the two 'no' results below, compile with
-g and run under gdb to let me know where they fail?  I am surprised
at the failure.  

Specifically, what is wrong with

void gprof_cleanup() {};
int main(int argc,char *argv[],char *envp[]) {
#include "h/unrandomize.h"
return 0;}

when compiled and run in the topdir of gcl source?

Separately, I've found that Debian is not passing personality changes
across execve, unlike Fedora.  Sure wish someone could explain the
variants out there to me.

Take care,
