Subject: [stalld v2 2/6] Makefile: Improve compiler flag detection for -fcf-protection
Date: Mon, 10 Nov 2025 10:22:37 -0300	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251110132241.43685-3-wander@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20251110132241.43685-1-wander@redhat.com>

The previous method of detecting support for -fcf-protection relied on
a minimum GCC version check, which was not always accurate and could
fail on different architectures or compiler toolchains.

This commit replaces the version check with a more robust method that
directly tests if the compiler supports the -fcf-protection flag. This
ensures better portability and avoids compilation errors on systems
where the flag is not available.

This change mirrors the recently added detection logic for the
-mno-omit-leaf-frame-pointer flag.
