Yaakov added that symbol to lib/compilers.cygpart on February 20 along with other security flags, in the "Add security flags to CFLAGS" commit. https://github.com/cygwinports/cygport/commit/48e7b6e94052ac58643fa3b7989bb7e1468389f7 The "-Wp" just means to pass -D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2 through to the preprocessor.
