The trick with hardening flags in OpenAFS is that it also builds a kernel
module, for which those flags are not appropriate.

I assume that you're filing these bugs against any package that has had a
security advisory.  Note that the OpenAFS security advisory was for the
kernel code, where hardening flags are a trickier issue.
