Bug 324067 – sys-apps/lm_sensors: ebuild shouldn't filter compiler flag -fstack-protector

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description cilly 2010-06-15 07:25:04 UTC]

There is absolutely no reason, why in the ebuild is filtered:

filter-flags -fstack-protector

Please, remove filter-flags.

@hardened: feel free to fix, falls into your category.

I just tested this removing filter-flags -fstack-protector from the ebuilds and encountered no problems on hardened x86 and amd64 and non-hardened x86 and amd64.

The flag was originally filtered to address bug 37421 which was triggered when compiling a 2.4 kernel and lm_sensors with gcc-3.3.2 with/without -fstack-protector set (thanks kallamej).  This is no longer an issue on current profiles.

Tested lm_sensors without filter flag for 2.0.7 (many months) and 3.x (lately) on x86, no problems.
