Hello, |
2 |
|

GCC-4.8.3 is now in the portage tree and it enables SSP, or Stack |
4 |
Smashing Protection, by default. |
5 |
|
6 |
I don't want SSP. It can be disabled using the -fno-stack-protector |
7 |
flag. |
8 |
|
9 |
Checking the portage use.local.desc file, it seems a better way |
10 |
to disable SSP is to specify the "nossp" USE flag for gcc. With |
11 |
this USE flag set, gcc will be built without SSP. |
12 |
|
13 |
However the "nossp" USE flag has some sort of warning attached |
14 |
to it in the use.local.desc file: |
15 |
|
16 |
sys-devel/gcc:nossp - Disable SSP support (NOT FOR GENERAL USE) |
17 |
|
18 |
What does this mean? Is it safe to use the "nossp" USE flag to build gcc? |
