I sent a mail to the list a couple of days ago but it seems to have disappeared into the void ... I didn't know that SSP was enabled under Darwin, particularly Darwin PPC. The patch from reference 4 of your email turns SSP on by default I see also that GCC 4.1 stage 2 include a "Reimplementation of IBM's Pro Police Stack Detector" but I can't find any discussion of such. Richard Henderson of RedHat reworked SSP in May of this year. A lot of work followed that to make it work on platforms other than x86. In any event, GCC CVS HEAD seems to be rather unstable at the moment on PPC Darwin? certainly HEAD can be unstable from one moment to the next as it is a moving target. Or is that unfair? I have been working with the latest checkouts from both mainline and Apple's branch and they are both fine. This email sent to site_archiver@lists.apple.com
