After some version of gcc /before ver.3.2.3 - in Gentoo 1.4/ it is available in GCC but is not activated in Gentoo 1.4 /could be done by including -fstack-protection in /etc/make.conf - CFLAGS I think/. I'm using it for some 3 months or more, including for kernel compilation. I'm also using GRSecurity kernel patch - medium level /gives me some problems in XFREE+KDE 3.1.4, can't start KDE(ksmserver)/.

[gentoo-user] cat /proc/version: propolice?
What is propolice? Does it mean "I'm all for the police", or is it Italian for "fast linux distro"? Hmm, I wonder if it's the test name of the prepatch ... # cat /proc/version Linux version 2.4.23-pre3 ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) (gcc version 3.3.2 20031022 (Gentoo Linux 3.3.2-r2, propolice)) #1 Sat Nov 1 07:55:10 CST 2003 -- Stephen From here to there and there to here, funny things are everywhere. -- Dr Seuss -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
