Thanks for checking. I thought about it for a bit and came up with the 
attached Emacs patch instead, which works for me on x86-64 and x86 
Fedora 23. Can you please try it on ppc64? I assume __PPC64__ is 
defined, if not please feel to substitute the proper symbol and please 
let me know what that symbol is.

This patch applies to Emacs's emacs-25 branch; if it works I plan to 
port it to Emacs's master branch. The patch does not implement Florian's 
idea of re-enabling ASLR before Emacs execs a child process, as I want 
to keep the emacs-25 patch as simple as possible. However, I do plan to 
try Florian's idea in the master branch.
