Would it make sense to add “%(gnat1_options)”, so that Fedora can use it specs-file-based injection for Ada programs as well? <https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/Harden_All_Packages?rd=Changes/Harden_all_packages_with_position-independent_code#Detailed_Harden_Flags_Description> >> Would it be possible to add some other injection mechanism so that it is >> possible customize the gnat1 flags using the specs file mechanism? > > Yes, defining a common set of base options would be welcome. Doesn't common.opt serve this purpose? But if I understand you correctly, the Ada front end alters semantics of flags in common.opt, which means we are in a bit of a difficult position here. -- Florian Weimer / Red Hat Product Security
