I just ran paxtest on a Mac G4 Cube. Ouch. The results are shameful.

What gcc version, what binutils version, what kernel version?

My gcc claims to be:

Using built-in specs.

I suppose binutils can be determined by ld:

GNU ld version 2.16.91 20060413 Debian GNU/Linux

The kernel version was reported:

Linux cube 2.6.17-rc5 #1 PREEMPT Sat May 27 20:35:12 EDT 2006 ppc GNU/Linux
