Bug#213994: gcc-3.3: Please provide an overflow protection in the stock compiler



Package: gcc-3.3
Version: 1:3.3.2-0pre4
Priority: wishlist
Tags: upstream

I would very much like stack/buffer overflow protection such as (StackGuard
[1] or to Stack Smashing Protector [2]) be available in Debian's stock
gcc-3.3 compiler. The people at Immunix are making an effort to integrate
StackGuard's latest version (3) into gcc, so maybe this will come by 
itself.

Even if Debian packages might not be compiled with this protection, it 
would make it easier for Debian-derived distributions to recompile packages 
if Debian's compilers already featured this option.

Regards

Javi
