Bug#552688: This seems a bit stupid
IMHO this is a bit silly you are denying users of debian security features found elsewhere (at least found elsewhere in their packages...). The point is to make the compiler hardened by default not only packages compiled and packaged for debian. Please see http://wiki.debian.org/Hardening and please do reconsider. Given the (actual)patches are already in the source package for 4.4 and 4.5 (gcc) I don't see what your complaint is ? Why carry something you won't maintain ... this doesn't make sense to me. -- Things past redress and now with me past care. -- William Shakespeare, "Richard II" -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-gcc-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Bug#572653: gcc-4.3: compiling a 2.6.33 kernel results in gcc crash
Can you please close this bug. It was actually a buggy kernel I was using to compiler the kernel on that was triggering the bug. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-gcc-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
