I've said it a few times in this thread: Until we know that there are
systems which both lack python-config _and_ suffer from the fortify
incompatibility then we can live with this IMHO.

IOW I think we can just assume that the fortify incompatibility is a
feature of either newer distros and/or newer versions of python
implementing hardening flags which is something which has been going on
over the last few years.

Python 2.5 dates back to 2006, before then I think enabling fortify by
default was not all that common.

Ian.
