bug#23529: Request for fixing randomize_va_space build issues

Although Emacs can do this sort of work itself (e.g., randomizing locations of dumped objects, munging pointers as they come in to match the random locations, and using mmap to make the relevant objects const), it should be better for Emacs to use the linking technology already available on modern platforms, rather than trying to reinvent the wheel.

I agree.

Would that also avoid having to require special privileges when building? e.g the "personality" syscall.
