Comment:

 We already have -fstack-protector-all, but I guess it doesn't include
 this?

 Also, we should never be installed SUID, yeah?

 That said, this is indeed a pretty trivial change; see my branch
 `harden_22660_029`, for 0.3.2 and possible backport as far as 0.2.9

 When I try to build with this, I get many `/usr/bin/ld: warning: -z
 noexecheap ignored.` warnings.  I don't know if that's something I should
 be concerned about.
