The gcc 4 fortify source patch currently referenced in Onward fails to make -D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2 the default unless -O or -Os or above is passed to gcc. Fortify source is not enabled if -O0 is passed which iirc is the default level. While reviewing older fortify source patches I found -O was previously added to the default specs. After adding it to the current patch fortify source was used by default as expected.
The updated patch can be found here http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/~rbaker/gcc-4.4.3-fortify_source.diff I will continue testing with it before I make any changes to SVN to reference it, but so far everything is looking good. If anyone sees any problem with adding %{!O*:-O} to the specs file let me know.
