We have added (a potentially buggy) ASLR support to all - supported &os; architectures. Focus is still on amd64 as - that is what the developers have access to. We have added - support for Position-Independent Executables (PIEs) in a number - of applications in base. We have identified a number of bugs - and are actively working on targeting them.

We have added ASLR support to all architectures. As the + primary developers behind this feature have the most access to + amd64, the focus of development is on the + amd64 architecture. Other architectures, such as ARM, + have known bugs with our current ASLR implementation and we are + working hard to fix them. We added support for + Position-Independent Executables (PIEs) in a number of + applications in base.
