I have it up and going on my 2.2.7 box. Been running some stackguard
compiled apps (ssh 1.2.26 for one) and they've been working like a champ.
Wrote a couple of test programs to see if it would catch a canary
overrun, and indeed it does. Did nothing to the sources but twiddle
with dots and underscores. Why would aout vs. elf matter? Are the stack
frames different?

It's been working for me. Did have to build gas.
