Hello!

	Few days ago I noticed that website mentions stack protection being 
part of the system so I decided to check it on one of my test 
machines... but looks like it is only part of gcc2:

cc -O2 -pipe -fstack-protector -mcpu=pentiumpro -Wall    -c 
/usr/src/games/fortune/strfile/strfile.c
cc1: error: unrecognized option `-fstack-protector'

(happened after setting CCVER=gcc3 in make.conf)



Btw: propolice is very stable on FreeBSD 4.x and so far seems fine on 
5.x as well.
