+
+ Optional Stack Protector [1] support has been added with the WITH_SSP
+ knob.
+
+ This currently is only supported on FreeBSD 10 amd64/i386 and earlier
+ releases on amd64 only.
+
+ The default SSP_CLFAGS is -fstack-protector, but -fstack-protector-all
+ may optionally be set instead.
+
+ To enable support, add WITH_SSP=yes to your make.conf and rebuild all
+ ports.
+
+ # portmaster -af
+
+ or
+
+ # portupgrade -af
