Hi folks
I'm looking at how -fstack-protector-strong might be enabled in the glibc
recipe. It looks like it should already be enabled by default via
--enable-stack-protector=strong in EXTRA_OECONF, however looking at the
compile logs it is passing -fno-stack-protector instead. Examining the
configure log:
checking for -fstack-protector... (cached) no
checking for -fstack-protector-strong... (cached) no
checking for -fstack-protector-all... (cached) no
This in turn comes from libc_cv_ssp_strong=no in CACHED_CONFIGUREVARS in
glibc.inc. Searching back through the git history I can't find much by way of
explanation as to why the stack protector options are disabled. Setting
libc_cv_ssp_strong=yes however results in the following:

This is not an area I have looked much into before; does anyone have any insights?
Thanks
