--- Comment #11 from Tijl Coosemans <t...@freebsd.org> ---
(In reply to Shawn Webb from comment #9)
The paper is about copy-relocations of read-only variables.  There are
potential security problems with that because the copy is writeable.  The copy
has to be initialised at run-time with the value from the library.  That
doesn't apply to __stack_chk_guard because it's already writeable.
