Description

Hello,

I compile the 3.0 version and wants to compile it with "-z relro -z now", but, even if some options are in the Makefiles I didn't succeed. On my Debian the "hardening check" says always :

-------------------------------------------------------------------
 Position Independent Executable: yes
 Stack protected: yes
 Fortify Source functions: yes (some protected functions found)
 Read-only relocations: no
 Immediate binding: no
--------------------------------------------------------------------

I had to modify the Makefile in "src" adding :
-Wl,-z,relro -Wl,-z,now
at the end of the line :
SECCFLAGS = -fstack-protector -D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2 -Wformat -Wformat-security
I get now :
-------------------------------------------------------------------
 Position Independent Executable: yes
 Stack protected: yes
 Fortify Source functions: yes (some protected functions found)
 Read-only relocations: yes
 Immediate binding: yes
-------------------------------------------------------------------

Regards

JP P

I see that --enable-gccprotect should enable them, but doesn't properly. Working on a fix.

Supplying --enable-gccprotect should lead to a binary that hardening-check is happy with (provided that you also use -O2 which is needed for fortify source).
