Testing whether the compiler supports it is a bit tricky. The obvious AX_APPEND_COMPILE_FLAGS([-fstack-protector-strong]) doesn't suffice, since some ports of the GNU toolchain reportedly pass this test, then fail to link. That's because the compiler accepts the flag, duly emits references to helper code in libc, but libc doesn't provide, and linking fails. Instead, use AX_APPEND_LINK_FLAGS with an input source that makes the compiler emit the extra stack checking code. This requires the latest version from the autoconf-archive, so update m4/ax* to commit e3d948b. Also update m4/my_append_compile_flags.m4 to keep it in sync with upstream's ax_append_compile_flags.m4. Signed-off-by: Markus Armbruster <armbru@pond.sub.org>

# SYNOPSIS
|
|
#
|
|
# AX_APPEND_LINK_FLAGS([FLAG1 FLAG2 ...], [FLAGS-VARIABLE], [EXTRA-FLAGS], [INPUT])
|
|
#
|
|
# DESCRIPTION
|
|
#
|
|
# For every FLAG1, FLAG2 it is checked whether the linker works with the
|
|
# flag. If it does, the flag is added FLAGS-VARIABLE
|
|
#
|
|
# If FLAGS-VARIABLE is not specified, the linker's flags (LDFLAGS) is
|
|
# used. During the check the flag is always added to the linker's flags.
|
|
#
|
|
# If EXTRA-FLAGS is defined, it is added to the linker's default flags
|
|
# when the check is done. The check is thus made with the flags: "LDFLAGS
|
|
# EXTRA-FLAGS FLAG". This can for example be used to force the linker to
|
|
# issue an error when a bad flag is given.
|
|
#
|
|
# INPUT gives an alternative input source to AC_COMPILE_IFELSE.
|
|
#
|
|
# NOTE: This macro depends on the AX_APPEND_FLAG and AX_CHECK_LINK_FLAG.
|
|
# Please keep this macro in sync with AX_APPEND_COMPILE_FLAGS.
