I guess there might be some projects with special assembler code where this is the only possiblity. For your information, I attach my list of packages (of about 1400 installed ones) for which I had seen a reason to exclude them from -fstack-protector The reasons why they are in the list, I forgot long ago; might be failure of some version with ARCH=x86 or ARCH=amd64 or just carefulness like for grub: app-emulation/wine dev-libs/klibc media-gfx/splashutils sys-apps/texinfo sys-apps/v86d sys-boot/grub sys-devel/llvm In addition also: sys-libs/glibc sys-devel/gcc (for the latter, I found an old note that www-plugins/nspluginwrapper failed on amd64 if gcc itself was compiled with -fstack-protector; I guessed some multilib issue but never examined).
