[gentoo-hardened] Re: Stack-Smashing GCC experiments (gcc-3.2.2-r3.ebuild)

[Joshua Brindle]

first, "-fstack-protector" should work fine..

second, just emerge rsync and try again with that ebuild..

if you still have problems write a bug and assign it to me or frogger..

we have several testers for propolice gcc already and am fixing
ebuilds where -fstack-protector isn't appropriate, but we are not done
if anyone wants to test this and tell us about ebuilds where it breaks 
that would be great.. thanks

Thanks to Joshua and to "frogger", we have ProPolice stack-smashing
in the gcc-3.2.2 ebuild.

Curious thing is that when I tried to use the "-fprotect-stack"
CFLAG, gcc did not recognize it, even though gcc-3.2.2-r3 claimed to
be merged.

When I tried to ebuild gcc-3.2.2-r3.ebuild unpack, I got errors
regarding missing patch files:

 * Cannot find $EPATCH_SOURCE!  Value for $EPATCH_SOURCE is:
 * 
 *   /usr/portage/distfiles/gcc-3.2.2-branch-update-20030322.patch.bz2


 * Cannot find $EPATCH_SOURCE!  Value for $EPATCH_SOURCE is:
 * 
 *   /usr/portage/distfiles/gcc-3.2.2-tls-update2.patch.bz2


Hmm, performing "ebuild gcc-3.2.2-r3.ebuild fetch" didn't do
anything; ebuild thinks that all files are downloaded. Likewise
emerge.

I pulled these patch tarballs manually, and now I'm building gcc...

I will post results to this email forum.
