Yaakov added that symbol to lib/compilers.cygpart on February 20 along
with other security flags, in the "Add security flags to CFLAGS"
commit.

https://github.com/cygwinports/cygport/commit/48e7b6e94052ac58643fa3b7989bb7e1468389f7

The "-Wp" just means to pass -D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2 through to the preprocessor.

Tracing what the configury does it turns out it comes from cygport's
CFLAGS setting.

The answer to that question is still open.  Why does cygport set this
symbol in this manner?  I am removing the "-Wp," and see what the build
does…

Someone who believes in being "explicit" took over or patched something from

Sure, the question is why they use this stage prefix suddenly when they
didn't before.

OK, I finally found it in Embed.  EMbed compiles the tests without
optimization and tries to strip the definition, but doesn't expect the
leading "-Wp,".  I have still no idea where _that_ comes from.

FORTIFY_SOURCE

[Achim Gratz]

Perl and Cygwin do not exactly play together at the moment, but I
haven't been able to track down where that happens.  Perl configure
recognizes FORTIFY_SOURCE=2 proceeds to integrate that knowledge into
Config_heavy.pl.  For whatever reason it decded to use
"-Wp,-D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2" to do that (which works just fine).  But when
compiling something through ExtUtils::Embed in the just built perl that
option suddenly ends up as just "-Wp," and hangs up the compiler.  If I
rename the defined symbol to "FORCIFY_SOURCE" then it stays in the call
to gcc, so it's specific to that symbol.

I think that's happening somewhere in ExtUtils, but I'd like to ask if
maybe there is some magic going on from the Cygwin / gcc side to remove
that definition?
