To be honest, I don’t know. I won’t be in front of a DragonFly system for a few weeks.

If you try it now – at least with base – what happens?

I’d personally like to see -Wl,-z,relro,-z,now and -fstack-protector-strong enabled everywhere in base and DPorts. HardenedBSD already does it.

Enabling “partial” RELRO by default would be good.

I haven’t heard anyone mention an intent to do anything with elftoolchain, though I wouldn’t necessarily know.

DragonFly usually has two working compilers in base at a time; I think gcc 4.7 will be replaced with clang. I’m not doing the work, so take my assumptions with a grain of salt.

Can we expect the gcc 4.7 branch to be replaced by the 6.x branch sometime soon?
