I'm using Gentoo's hardened-sources-3.14.5-r2 which contains the grsec-patch with the following version string: 201406051310 (seems to be the latest).
Building fails with the following error:
- Code: Select all
fs/exec.c:2056:15: error: ‘current_stack_pointer’ undeclared (first use in this function)
(It's longer but that is the essence of it).
After digging through the sources it seems like that definition is missing for arm and several other arches (mips for example).
The following patch fixes the issue for arm:
- Code: Select all

Since I didn't try other arches I won't include "should work"-quality patches but my guess is that some of them need similar changes.
As of 3.14.6 this issue is resolved.
