severity 667930 normal
forwarded 667930 http://www.epmhome.org/str.php?L38+P0+S-2+C0+I0+E0+M10+Q
thanks

I've forwarded part of the patch upstream, as indicated above; it's the
part where CPPFLAGS is not respected.  I'm not particularly interested
in the patch to doc/Makefile.in, since the resulting binary is a build
artifact and not shipped in the final package.

I'm also not inclined to enable more hardening flags without testing
their impact on setup, which is intended to be bundled with a built
application to provide a Windows-style install GUI that runs on all
Linux distributions.  When my testing is done, I'll decide whether the
bindnow feature is appropriate to enable.

(Yes, I'm aware that I could be in a pickle if PIE causes portability
problems; I'll cross that bridge when I come to it.)

I'm setting the severity to "normal" because epm doesn't look to be in
the first line of important packages to harden; it hasn't had a DSA
recently, is not priority "important", is not a daemon, and is not an
interpreter.
