Do you know what is current status of hardened GCC 4.* ?
Is there any hope that it will be available in next few months ?

I have tried to search GCC site, but I haven't found anything
interesting. There is no real development roadmap and it is very hard to
find anything about SSP.

On the other hand, Wikipedia
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stack-smashing_protection) and official
ProPolice site (http://www.research.ibm.com/trl/projects/security/ssp/)
say that GCC 4.1 contains reimplementation of SSP.

So after hour of reading I am really confused and I would be very
grateful if you could write something about it.
