   Could you provide pointers for this? I'm aware that the checkergcc patches

   integrated into egcs, but they deal with memory leak detection etc., not
   preventing security holes resulting from buffer overflows. 

Actually the Checker patches (other than the ones that enable C++
support) are *already* in egcs (gcc 2.8.1 too).
