x86 only? Pro police is the most platform independent iirc.

If you need further reference the easiest way would be to check the
bugtraq flamew^Wdiscussion archives right now, as there is quite a big
thread with people who have programmed/used ProPolice, Stackguard, PaX and
W^X (the stuff OpenBSD uses at the moment). If you filter out the 90% rant
and the "my-big-dick-software-is-best-at-protecting-your-stack" noise, you
will find some useful things about stack protection, and the features of
each solution...
