This is just an idea and neither a patch nor a feature request. 

How about adding a option that causes randomized 
function/block/instruction reordering?

While gcc has a pleura of option that modify code generation, only 
very few combinations are usually used by the vast majority of users 
thus successfully exploits that rely on a specific function and/or 
instructions sequence can be deployed again predominantly gcc compiled 
systems like Linux and BSD with relative ease.

For non-trivial functions, this reordering can be accomplished with 
incurring either no or only extremely limited(< 0.5%) performance 
impact.

An especially interesting reordering would be the parameter of 
functions not visible outside the compilation unit.
