For Debian, you can find a lot of your answers here:
https://wiki.debian.org/Hardening
You will note that a lot of these features are currently enabled by
default via the use of current gcc. That is, many of these things were
pioneered by various OSses, including Debian, then adopted into the
gcc compiler tools, and then tested again as the OSses brought the new
versions of gcc in.
