-#   manager without breaking C's aliasing rules. Better be on a safe side.

-# * `-Wno-strict-aliasing` to turn of warnings about breaking aliasing rules.
-#   While one would think these wanings should be turned off when

-# * `-fno-stack-protector` is (was) required on Ubuntu brands where it's
-#   by default on. Smalltalk/X green thread implementation does not wotk
-#   well with it.

-# * `-U_FORTIFY_SOURCE` is (was) required on Gentoo as a workaround for failing
-#   longjmp check when _FORTIFY_SOURCE is defined (which is enabled by default
-#   on Gentoo. Remove when fixed.
