The attached patch enables the protected stack and fortified source build flags. Given concerns were raised regarding dpkg-buildflags injecting non-hardening flags, the attached patch uses the DEB_*_MAINT_STRIP variables to strip any such non-hardening flags dpkg-buildflags would normally inject (namely: -g -O2). The resulting binary (10.0.3esr-3 + my patch) works fine for me on my Debian sid system. For the record, I have intentionally left relro, bindnow and PIE for further discussion and iterations: better have iceweasel built with minimal hardening flags than none. Note, though, that Ubuntu's Firefox binary has been built with all these features for a while; any idea how other major distributions do?
