BR2_FORTIFY*: toolchain wrapper limitation note
A note is added to tie off the discussion on why moving _FORTIFY_SOURCE
related flags into the toolchain wrapper doesn't currently work.
- Currently -D_FORTIFY_SOURCE and optimizations are passed through
CFLAGS
- Packages like linux-tools ignore CFLAGS entirely and some
autotools toolchain testing cases dependent on not using
CFLAGS.
- If FORTIFY_SOURCE is passed through the wrapper, then linux-tools
will no longer be able to ignore it, because it's enforced at a
lower-level and since the optimization -Os/g/1/2/3 are via CFLAGS,
there is no optimization flag set. Therefore linux-tools will do
all its configuration tests with FORTIFY_SOURCE forcefully enabled
at the wrapper level, but no optimization enabled, and consequently
tests will fail.
