11 not picky, there are plans to fix all the 'no*' FEATURES and if we get the
12 IUSE default stuff ( http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=61732 ) going, we
13 can get rid of all the 'no*' USE flags too
14
15 that said, what needs to be done here in order to get the ball rolling ? can
16 we simply put together a function in flag-o-matic which will check FEATURES
17 and ARCH and gcc, and then just `append-flags -fstack-protector` ? then in
18 our system packages, just call this function ...
