Title: Info on GCC 4.4.4-r2 and GCC 3.X on Hardened profiles Author: Magnus Granberg <zo...@gentoo.org> Content-Type: text/plain Posted: 2010-10-27 Revision: 1 News-Item-Format: 1.0 Display-If-Profile: hardened/linux You may have noticed that GCC 4.4.4-r2 has gone stable on x86 and amd64. The other archs will follow later. We have enable SSP support by default on this and on newer versions for arches where it is supported, namely on x86, amd64, ppc, ppc64 and arm. The previous version GCC 4.3.4 had SSP, but it was not enabled by default. Older gcc's like 3.X versions will be obsoleted and we will not fix any bugs that work on GCC-4.4.4-r2 or newer, but fail with gcc 3.X.
