I already did that and it seems to be fine for my requirements.

But there is a patched segment in src/misc.c at line 1084 in 
'stat_diag'. I backtraced the 'stat_error' function over lib/pacerror.c 
to lib/paxlib.h but I neither understand if it actually throws an 
exitcode nor when the function should be called.

Thanks very much for your help so far!
