I'm tired of repeating the same review comments with you guys:

Who's "we"?

Please use passive voice in your text: no "we" or "I", etc.
Personal pronouns are ambiguous in text, especially with so many

How about you pay more attention?

If you're going to remove the -no-stack-protector thing for that file,
then pls remove it for both 32- and 64-bit. I.e., the revert what
103a4908ad4d did.
