FWIW, I disapprove of the insertion of checker/stack-protection/etc.
code into the core of GCC.
The way that we should be handling these kinds of (admirable!)
projects is to provide a clean interface by which clients can modify
the AST before it is given to the back-end, or perhaps the RTL after
it is first generated, or perhaps the actual process of tree->rtl
conversion.
There is a chance that CodeSourcery will provide some of these clean
interfaces (as part of a university research project), but I don't
know that for sure, yet.
We shouldn't go cluttering up the core of the compiler with all these
bits.
