[Bug other/28328] Stack smash protection non-verbose

["solar at gentoo dot org" <gcc-bugzilla at gcc dot gnu dot org>]

------- Comment #5 from solar at gentoo dot org  2006-07-11 04:25 -------
John is mostly right in reporting this.

Gentoo uses SSP more than anyone else out there for longer than most 
anybody (obsd excluded) and I can't stress how vital it is to have the
function hint that Etoh's original __stack_smash_handler() offered from
a distro point of view.

When the initial porting of etohs code was done for 4.x this feature 
should of been ported also but sadly was not.

I would ignore the part in his comments about syslog() as running the 
handler past that would mean that all vio/*intf functionality would
have to have ssp disabled on it in *libc which pretty much means all of
the libc.

And dmesg() is moot cuz ssp userland handlers can't really reach that 
level of the kernel nor should they try.

This bug should get itself assigned.
