This change is not related to the NT_AUXV note in fact (both just happened the same week). What you should be looking for is the readelf -l (objdump -p) output from the core file, for the segment with vaddr 0xa000000000010000 (GATE_ADDR). Check that its size is PAGE_SIZE. You can also verify it in gdb while looking at the core file by checking that e.g. "p (char *) 0xa000000000010000" shows "ELF\177" and that "x/w 0xa000000000010000+PAGE_SIZE-8" (substituting the right PAGE_SIZE value) works (and shows you zeros). Thanks, Roland
