Of course it will work in this case. Please notice that I'm not the man who suggested to mount /tmp noexec (by the way if you do, xmkmf will not work). I'm the man who said that -x- attribute still will be in place *even if you will mount system with noexec* because somebody suggested to use 'noexec' for mounting vfat partitions and getting no 'x' attribute on files. -- Alexey "Python is executable pseudocode, Perl is executable line-noise."
