--- Comment #1 from Richard Biener <rguenth at gcc dot gnu.org> --- We don't want people go wild with changing defaults and delivering a totally different (bad?) experience or doing that too easily. You can always use specs to do this for example. But yeah, SUSE carries a patch adding a 'defaults.spec' for this. What's the flag you want to enable this time? IMHO different configure flags for hardening defaults are the way to go.
