: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.

Tomaz, you are right, the propolice patch is not being applied to
GCC3 yet. It's low priority right now, there are other gcc3isms we
have to get working first.
But I would not expect it to be hard to do. The patch would go into
a separate contrib directory and the build system would have to create
local copies of the source files it applies to and then apply it.
