Some distros enable _FORTIFY_SOURCE by default which upsets building
newlib which itself implements the logic for this define. For example,
building gets.c fails because the includes set up a gets() macro which
expands in the definition.
Since newlib isn't prepared to build itself with _FORTIFY_SOURCE, and
it's not clear if it's even useful, disable it when building the code.
This also matches what glibc is doing.

NB: This is an alternative approach instead of passing -U_FORTIFY_SOURCE.
I think the -U approach is better, but throwing this up for discussion.

I like this one more. Most people have no problems to look into
source, but many shy away from the convoluted build system.
Thanks,

It is useful; I've caught a few library bugs when I turned this on for
picolibc. Fixing newlib to handle -D_FORTIFY_SOURCE could probably start
with the patches I did in picolibc, which mostly just #undef the various
mem and str functions before defining them.
General code:
https://github.com/picolibc/picolibc/commit/c2c593afa60b64bff0a958ad930e0336463db5bf
Arm specific code:

Please send patches.

i'm not against making it work, but it doesn't now, so we should disable the
logic if/until it's made to actually work.
