Ik zie ook wat leuke dingen in de release notes:

* MIPS targets now support the -fstack-protector option.

Uit de handleiding:

-fstack-protector
Emit extra code to check for buffer overflows, such as stack smashing
attacks.
This is done by adding a guard variable to functions with vulnerable
objects.
This includes functions that call alloca, and functions with buffers
larger than
8 bytes. The guards are initialized when a function is entered and then
checked
when the function exits. If a guard check fails, an error message is
printed and
the program exits.

-fstack-protector-all
Like '-fstack-protector' except that all functions are protected.

Based on what I have seen thus far ( I know time will tell ) it seems to
be one of the very best releases in years.

Works well in the Solaris world also and even on i386-pc-solaris2.8 and
that is saying something. :-)
