What you are talking about is a Segfault release. like make rawhide,
This isn't a compile option that is distro-wide: you can add or edit a
line to your initscripts that pokes /proc how you like and you're
segfaulting away any time you like assuming your hardware doesn't fix
them up magically already.
The logistics of fixing all of them even for large projects is going
to take a long time unless someone has a killer compiler that can do
like a direct download from git, compile it, find the errors, fix the
errors and submit the patches back that make sense. :P
Personally I see zero alignment faults from kernel or userspace right
now and my hardware doesn't fix up. There's no huge mountain of
problems to find and clean: wise ancients that went before us have done
almost all the work.
We just need to solve any few lurking about or that are introduced in
future, default to log + fix is enough and anyone that wants to have a
"kill on sight" policy can override it.
