That works. :-)

Actually, there already is a qualifier which will select 
-fstack-protector, I had just forgotten about it:

   % gcc --help=common | grep stack
   -Wstack-protector           Warn when not issuing stack smashing 
protection
   -fdefer-pop                 Defer popping functions args from stack until
   -fomit-frame-pointer        When possible do not generate stack frames
   -fstack-check               Insert stack checking code into the program
   -fstack-limit               This switch lacks documentation
   -fstack-limit-register=<register> Trap if the stack goes past <register>
   -fstack-limit-symbol=<name> Trap if the stack goes past symbol <name>
   -fstack-protector           Use propolice as a stack protection method
   -fstack-protector-all       Use a stack protection method for every 
function

Cheers
