<p style="padding: 0;text-rendering: inherit;margin: 0;line-height: inherit;white-space: inherit;">@Tobias: I assume this is a strong linux-ism. Is there a FreeBSD compareable functionality?</p>
<p style="padding: 0;text-rendering: inherit;margin: 0;line-height: inherit;white-space: inherit;">I'm considering to push this explicitly without an ifdef. It's a new security feature and I want to make non-Linux systems aware of the fact that it adds a new feature and that a replacement should be added.</p></pre>
