Subject: emacs: paxctl usage on NetBSD
Date: Mon, 25 Apr 2016 14:09:44 +0200

Package: emacs
Version: 25.1.50

emacs is using paxctl during the build, in two ways:
"paxctl -zex file" and "paxctl -r file"

However, the NetBSD version of paxctl has a different usage, e.g.
"paxctl +a file" would turn off ASLR. For more details, see
http://netbsd.gw.com/cgi-bin/man-cgi?paxctl++NetBSD-current

When I replace 'paxctl -zex' with 'paxctl +a' in src/Makefile.in, the
build succeeds.
