I'm using it a regular CFLAG on my workstation now.  The first issues that
need to be ironed out are the portage breaking.  If glibc is built
with -fstack-protector, portage breaks (but nothing else that I've found),
or if portage itself is built with it it also breaks.  

Of course, if these are issues that are not easily fixable, it would be
easy enough to simply strip the -fstack-protector flag explicitly in the
ebuilds.

Thanks for pointing that out, I'll keep an eye on it.  Do you know what
work has been done so far involving implementing this feature?  Is it just
basically testing at this point?
