1 PIE is used in hardened gentoo, If PIE can't protect you against this,
2 ssp at least could try to do it, this is the reason because
3 -fstack-protector-all and -D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2 are needed, and at least
4 -fstack-protector-all is really extended in hardened gentoo.. as
5 another security layer. .
