I wonder if this points to this patch touching the wrong level. These compiler flags are a thing that _some_ builds want (i.e., production builds where people care most about security and not about debugging), but not necessarily all. I'd have expected this to be tweakable by a Makefile knob (either a specific knob, or just the caller setting the right CFLAGS etc), and then for the builds of Git for Windows to turn those knobs when making a package to distribute. Our internal package builds at GitHub all have this in their config.mak (for Linux, of course): CFLAGS += -U_FORTIFY_SOURCE -D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=1 CFLAGS += -fstack-protector-strong CFLAGS += -fpie LDFLAGS += -z relro -z now LDFLAGS += -pie and I wouldn't be surprised if other binary distributors (like the Debian package) do something similar. -Peff
