 Heh. I just added it. No need to say you're sorry. :)

 Are you seeing warnings right now?

 Wait wait - what does configure do when you use clang? With gcc I have:
 {{{
 checking whether C compiler accepts -D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2... yes
 checking whether C compiler accepts -fstack-protector-all... yes
 checking whether C compiler accepts -fwrapv... yes
 checking whether C compiler accepts -fPIE... yes
 checking whether C compiler accepts --param ssp-buffer-size=1... yes
 checking whether C compiler accepts -fno-strict-aliasing... yes
 checking whether C compiler accepts -fno-strict-overflow... yes
 checking whether the linker accepts -pie... yes
 checking whether the linker accepts -z relro... yes
 checking whether the linker accepts -z now... yes
 }}}

 Do you have the same output with clang? If so, I think that's a bug in the
 macro that checks if the compiler/linker actually accepts a given flag.
