[hardening-discuss] Bug#867704: hardening-check for stretch?

[Nicola Spanti]

Package: hardening-includes
Release: stretch

In jessie, hardening-includes contains a script called 
"hardening-check". This package does not exist in future versions. It 
can still be installed successfully in stretch, but I get this problem 
when I check a binary "Position Independent Executable: not a known ELF 
type!? ()", I suppose that GCC changed how it compiled.

There were discussions to move the script. In stretch, `dpkg -L lintian 
| grep 'hardening-check'` and `dpkg -L devscripts | grep 
'hardening-check'` returns nothing on stdout. They were discussions 
about putting the logic in lintian, but I use this script outside the 
Debian packaging scope. Is there an updated version of this script 
somewhere or is it unmaintained? Is there a similar free/libre tool in 
Debian?

Regards.
