Ubuntu 19.10 enables this by default for x86 architectures. The option instructs the compiler to generate special nop instruction at all places where execution may jump to. This not only means the incoming setjmp implementations will need to be adjusted[1], but in case the option is extended to expose similar features of other microarches, this could lead to breakages there with newer compilers. Only safe way to use it seems to disable it wholesale and enable it selectively for platforms that are aware of it. So do the disabling part.
