{{{
10:35 < sqrt2> nickm: do you want me to attach a patch to #9948 or is that
unnecessarily bureaucratic?
10:37 < nickm> sqrt2: A patch would be cool, but there's one thing I'm
worried
about.
10:38 < nickm> sqrt2: If we just change AC_TRY_COMPILE to AC_TRY_LINK in
that
macro, then we won't get the desired effect ("give an error
when
--enable-gcc-hardening is on, but libssp is needed and
absent.")
Instead, we will decide that we can't turn on ssp, because
linking didn't work.
10:38 < nickm> So we'll need to make sure that if the ssp option makes us
compile but not link, we give an error
10:38 < sqrt2> well, technically, we can't turn on ssp, and
--enable-gcc-hardening is a default, not something the user
explicitly wanted
10:39 < sqrt2> but it may be a good idea to force the user to disable it
manually nevertheless
10:39 < nickm> right.
10:44 < sqrt2> nickm: i'll try to get my hands on a build environment that
has
such a libc and hopefully just test out the methods then
