            Bug ID: 252689
           Summary: editors/libreoffice: requires ELF feature tag to
                    indicate W+X mappings required
           Product: Ports & Packages
           Version: Latest
          Hardware: Any
                OS: Any
            Status: New
          Severity: Affects Only Me
          Priority: ---
         Component: Individual Port(s)
          Assignee: office at FreeBSD.org
          Reporter: emaste at freebsd.org
            Blocks: 252629
             Flags: maintainer-feedback?(office at FreeBSD.org)
          Assignee: office at FreeBSD.org

Attempting to run libreoffice with W^X enabled results in this failure to
start:

# sysctl kern.elf64.allow_wx=0
% libreoffice
LibreOffice 7.0 - Fatal Error: The application cannot be started. 
Extension Manager: exception in synchronize

elfctl(1) can be used to tag binaries that require W+X mappings; discussion
about a canonical method of applying these tags is being discussed in PR252629
