From b553a0428014636bce4951098e97c60dc18a83ed Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: John Snow Date: Tue, 3 Nov 2015 15:43:42 -0500 Subject: configure: disable FORTIFY_SOURCE under clang Some versions of clang may have difficulty compiling glibc headers when -D_FORTIFY_SOURCE is used. For example, Clang++ 3.5.0-9.fc22 cannot compile glibc's stdio headers when -D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2 is used. This manifests currently as build failures with clang and any arm target. According to LLVM dev Richard Smith, clang does not target or support FORTIFY_SOURCE + glibc, and it should not be relied on. "It's still an unsupported combination, and while it might compile, some of the checks are unlikely to work because they require a frontend inliner to be useful" See: http://lists.llvm.org/pipermail/cfe-dev/2015-November/045846.html Conclusion: disable fortify-source if we appear to be using clang instead of testing for compile success or failure, which may be incidental or not indicative of proper support of the feature.
