Yes, as to lcl_maybe_fortify() being visible, but why the "?=" ?  Maybe, the 
security flags
Should have a pn-vim entry.  I don't like that.  Maybe the vim recipe should 
modify lcl_maybe_fortify()
but I really don't like that either.  Still, vim should be useable.  What I do 
not understand is why
this has not been reported.  Is everybody using the vi provided by busybox?

"lcl_maybe_fortify" was supposed to be a private local variable in 
security_flags.inc. If it's now a documented global variable which recipes are 
allowed to mess with, it should be renamed (e.g.
capitalised and the lcl_ prefix removed).
