Package: gcc-2.95
Version: 1:2.95.4-9
Severity: wishlist
Hello,
I think there should be a gcc version with stack protection patch included.
The patch was sent in the gcc patches mailing list. Perhaps a single version
is enough, as the patch can be (completly ?) disabled.
With kind regards
Torsten Knodt

Closing the report. We are moving to gcc-3.1 as the default
compiler. Better to keep gcc-2.95 unchanged in this situation for a
fallback. Maybe you want to test/evaluate the patch for gcc-3.1 or the
current HEAD banch and re-submit it upstream?
