propolice for GCC?

[Dooley, Ryan]

Right on... what did you find out for the overhead? (I've got (propolice) running on my workstation under Gentoo Linux and now Dragonfly and, as a desktop user, I can't say that I can tell.)
 
I think it is a good thing to have a switch in /etc/make.conf (or whatever).  It makes Dragonfly just that much cooler :-)
 
Cheers,
Ryan

	     Ok.  I've looked at the code output and it does impose some
	     fairly serious overheads, so I am going to default the compiler
	     to off instead of on.  We can then add -fstack-protector to
	     sys.mk, /etc/make.conf, or wherever else we need to add it.
	
	     I am going to start committing the basic support pieces now.
