On Ubuntu 12.04 I get:

$ dpkg-buildflags
CFLAGS=-g -O2 -fstack-protector --param=ssp-buffer-size=4 -Wformat
-Wformat-security -Werror=format-security
CPPFLAGS=-D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2
CXXFLAGS=-g -O2 -fstack-protector --param=ssp-buffer-size=4 -Wformat
-Wformat-security -Werror=format-security
FFLAGS=-g -O2
LDFLAGS=-Wl,-Bsymbolic-functions -Wl,-z,relro

So, I will put this into my configure script wrapper.
