yeah - same here. although i am interested and wouldn't even mind a small |
| 12 |
performance hit i have not had the guts to follow through... |
| 13 |
|
| 14 |
the craziest thing is, that i seem to get a hardened toolchain built by |
| 15 |
default - without using the hardened profile |

so whats the difference? |
| 30 |
|
| 31 |
somewhere it says that on x86 the performance penalty for PIE is |
| 32 |
considerable... guess i have to get some AMD64 boxes... |
| 33 |
|
| 34 |
perhaps some hardened and server people should get together and write a |
| 35 |
short overview... i am in! |
