As promised in the --enable-host-pie patch, this patch adds another
configure option, --enable-host-bind-now, which adds -z now when linking
the compiler executables in order to extend hardening. BIND_NOW with RELRO
allows the GOT to be marked RO; this prevents GOT modification attacks.
This option does not affect linking of target libraries; you can use
LDFLAGS_FOR_TARGET=-Wl,-z,relro,-z,now to enable RELRO/BIND_NOW.
With this patch:
$ readelf -Wd cc1{,plus} | grep FLAGS
0x000000000000001e (FLAGS) BIND_NOW
0x000000006ffffffb (FLAGS_1) Flags: NOW PIE
0x000000000000001e (FLAGS) BIND_NOW
0x000000006ffffffb (FLAGS_1) Flags: NOW PIE
Bootstrapped/regtested on x86_64-pc-linux-gnu, ok for trunk?
