I have a suspected stack corruption problem on a mips-based embedded system (using uclibc on a linux 2.4 kernel). I have tried using the -fstack-protector compile option but get the error message:
warning: -fstack-protector not supported for this target My toolchain configuration is: GCC version 4.1.2 binutils version 2.16.1 uclibc version 0.9.28 Does anyone know: - if mips support for the stack protector has been added in a later GCC version? - if there is a technical reason why it's not implemented for mips? - if there is a patch or workaround out there somewhere?
