_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2 appears to be the default for package building on many

often hear about problems related to this only when we hand the source
over to the packagers. So I think we might as well add this to our
standard compilation options, for example in src/include/port/linux.h.
What do you think?
Doesn't seem like a good idea to me to add platform-specific options
with unspecified effects to platform-independent upstream sources.
To the extent that this option finds anything useful (which in my
experience is a negligibly small percentage anyway), it's the
responsibility of the packagers (including me) to report it.
Might be worth having a buildfarm animal or two building with it, say by
setting CFLAGS before configure?
