Filtering -fstack-protector out of CFLAGS
 

GCL will not run successfully if compiled with -fstack-protector.* It has its own internal stack management code that interacts badly with -fstack-protector.* So I decided to try filtering that option out of the default CFLAGS.* I put this at the top of the GCL spec file:

%global __global_cflags %{echo %__global_cflags | %{__sed} 's/ -fstack-protector//'}

That seems to work, in that %configure passes RPM_OPT_FLAGS minus -fstack-protector, but when I run rpmbuild, I see:


echoechoechoechoechoechoechoechoExecuting(%prep): ...

What's with the 8 "echo" strings, one right after the other?* Is that something I should worry about?* Am I filtering CFLAGS the right way?* Do I need to get explicit permission from some group to do this?* Thanks,

In the X server, I do:

export CFLAGS="${RPM_OPT_FLAGS} -Wstrict-overflow -rdynamic $CFLAGS"
%configure --enable-maintainer-mode %{xservers}
# ...

Which seems to work fine.

We used to do something like this for the MinGW packages, since
-fstack-protector also causes a problem under Windows / MinGW
cross-compilation:

CFLAGS="$RPM_OPT_FLAGS -fno-stack-protector"
./configure [etc]

(example: http://hg.et.redhat.com/misc/fedora-mingw--devel/?fd=136ab7f25dc2;file=gnutls/mingw-gnutls.spec )

I should hasten to add that we don't do that any more, because we
defined our own %{_mingw32_cflags} macro so we'd have finer control.

Also, if anyone can fix -fstack-protector on Windows / MinGW, please
help!

Rich.

With modern configure scripts you can pass CFLAGS to configure directly
instead of resorting to using the environment.

I've adopted this approach. Thank you. Thanks also to Ajax and Ralf
for their replies.
