sys/boot/ficl Makefile sys/boot/i386 Makefile.inc sys/conf Makefile.i386 Log:
Make sure neither the boot loader nor the kernel is compiled with the
stack protector.
I understand this for bootloader, but why the same for kernel? Why not have all the help one can get? Having several layers of protection is good. I have problems with bootloader on few boxes, but never had any problems for the rest of the system (except fetch and some ftp sites).
