-D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=1 uses __builtin_object_size(..., 0) as the buffer
size, but -D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2 uses __builtin_object_size(..., 1).  Read
https://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc/Object-Size-Checking.html for the
details.

One case is:

struct frame
{
  int size;
  char buf[0];
};

union
{
  struct frame f;
  char padding[100 + sizeof(struct frame)];
} u;

u.frame.size = strlen(s) + 1;
strcpy(u.frame.buf, s);

-D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2 will abort this, but -D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=1 won't. 
(Yes, I know "char buf[0]" should be changed to a flexible array member
"char buf[]" to fix this, but it is just an example.)
