  * Enable -fstack-protector for the new distros
for every package
   by default

 Gentoo is supporting -fstack-protector for quite some time now and you
 might want to have a look at their ebuild database for some packages
 that have little propblems with that compiler flag. 
Fedora should have patches as well.  If people using the buildservice
like to test this, it would be fine.

...

 If you're interested, i'll aggregate some bugzilla entries from
 bugs.g.o for this...

 A quick grep over portage brought these packages all have some special
 handling for -fstack-protector (or simply disable it):

 mozilla-firefox
 mozilla-thunderbird
 wesnoth
 xterm
 tetex
 texlive
 iptables
 sane-backends (seems only amd64)
 hesiod
 amule
 lsof
 lm_sensors
 memtest86
 grub (seems to be build issue)
 syslinux
 qemu
 xen-tools
 opal
 openh323
 xulrunner
 hylafax
 lyx
 openoffice
 windowmaker
 perl
 ocaml
 erlang
 dietlibc
 pwlib
 libffi
 monotone
 valgrind
 emacs (ICE)
 fcpci
 wireshark 
Thanks for that list, let's see what we figure out in our build,

Andreas
