Is /tmp really the right place? What about /var/log instead?

Could you please add a comment about why we have this glibc dependency?

Please add a blank line, followed by the upstream URL of the project.

And also a Config.in comment about the glibc dependency.

What about using the latest version, 0.9.15, available at
https://www.grsecurity.net/~spender/paxtest-0.9.15.tar.gz. It is the
one used by Gentoo, for example.

Is it possible to use $(TARGET_CONFIGURE_OPTS) instead?

Both PAXTEST_MAKE_OPTS and PAXTEST_INSTALL_TARGET_OPTS are used only
once, so don't define variable: just use them directly where needed.

Please pass $(TARGET_MAKE_ENV) before $(MAKE).

Ditto.

Thanks!
