I gave up on 4.9.3, and am just trying to rebuild 4.6.4. It fails
pretty much the same way when trying to build libiberty:
/usr/include/features.h:328:4: warning: #warning _FORTIFY_SOURCE requires

So, it seems I now don't have a working compiler.
I tried doing a quickpkg of gcc-4.9.3 on one of my other systems
(which is still happy with having 4.9.3 and older versions installed),
but the CPU type didn't match closely enough, and the binaries from
the package had illegal instructions.
