to begin using it for FC5. It will no doubt expose problems that would
cause system crashes. Fedora uses other non-standard kernel build
options like -Os where in the past exposed corner case problems that
most other users don't experience. It took a long while to fix -Os
problems because upstream and other distros didn't use it, and I am not
really sure if all -Os problems are fixed today.
Going off at a tangent....what would people think of the idea of
switching to -Os in $RPM_OPT_FLAGS _after_ FC5 is released?
As for trying the kernel FORTIFY_SOURCE code, I believe only Arjan
would
have it. He was playing with the concept himself a while ago.
It was seen on lkml too. I ported it to PPC at one point.
