That's a useful suggestion, thanks. After working on it a little, it seems to me the easiest solution is to make these flags the default in ld (and add "no-..." options to disable them). I've prepared a patch, it will be in the next upload of binutils-mingw-w64 (soon since there's an RC bug to fix!). Regards, Stephen
