2016-03-29build: python 3 compatibilityWladimir J. van der Laan
Ubuntu 16.04 "xenial xerus" does not come with Python 2.x by default. It is possible to install a python-2.7 package, but this has its own problem: no `python` or `python2` symlink (see #7717). This fixes the following scripts to work with python 3: - `make check` (bctest,py, bitcoin-util-test.py) - `make translate` (extract_strings_qt.py) - `make symbols-check` (symbol-check.py) - `make security-check` (security-check.py) Explicitly call the python commands using $(PYTHON) instead of relying on the interpreter line at the top of the scripts.

2015-10-22devtools: Add security-check.pyWladimir J. van der Laan
Perform the following ELF security checks: - PIE: Check for position independent executable (PIE), allowing for address space randomization - NX: Check that no sections are writable and executable (including the stack) - RELRO: Check for read-only relocations, binding at startup - Canary: Check for use of stack canary Also add a check to symbol-check.py that checks that only the subset of allowed libraries is imported (to avoid incompatibilities).
