 # SSP Support
 #
 # The -fstack-protector-strong flag enables "stack smashing" protection on a
 # wider set of functions than the default -fstack-protector, but without the
 # full performance cost of -fstack-protector-all. Under the hood it inserts a
 # small "canary" value on the stack just before the saved return address; at
 # function exit it checks that the canary hasn't been overwritten by a buffer
 # overflow. If it has been clobbered, the runtime aborts the program rather
 # than returning into corrupted code.
