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.
