Hi all, gcc-4.9 is due to be released on the 22nd. This brings a new stack protection flag, -fstack-protector-strong. See this blog post for some details [1]. I would like to do two things with the release of gcc-4.9: 1) Add -fstack-protector-strong to our CFLAGS 2) Rebuild all [core] packages The rebuild would not only add the extra stack protection, but also ensure all [core] packages have .MTREE files (which become more useful with the next pacman release, although still do not test checksums). Any opinions on both of these points? Cheers, Allan [1] http://www.outflux.net/blog/archives/2014/01/27/fstack-protector-strong/
