Right so modifying the debian rules file as per http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=589054 I was able to build iodine with some gcc hardening protections.
Simply adding some CFLAGS and disabling hardening-wrapper meant that I could build iodine (as well). Here is the result (of disabling hardening-wrapper, modifying the rules file and doing --> export CFLAGS="-g -O2 -Wall -fstack-protector -D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2" ) hardening-check /usr/sbin/iodine /usr/sbin/iodine: Position Independent Executable: no, normal executable! Stack protected: yes Fortify Source functions: yes Read-only relocations: no, not found! Immediate binding: no, not found! hardening-check /usr/sbin/iodined /usr/sbin/iodined: Position Independent Executable: no, normal executable! Stack protected: yes Fortify Source functions: yes Read-only relocations: no, not found! Immediate binding: no, not found! -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact listmas...@lists.debian.org
