mingw: enable stack smashing protector
As suggested privately to Brendan Forster by some unnamed person (suggestion for the future: use the public mailing list, or even the public GitHub issue tracker, that is a much better place to offer such suggestions), we should make use of gcc's stack smashing protector that helps detect stack buffer overruns early. Rather than using -fstack-protector, we use -fstack-protector-strong because it strikes a better balance between how much code is affected and the performance impact. In a local test (time git log --grep=is -p), best of 5 timings went from 23.009s to 22.997s (i.e. the performance impact was *well* lost in the noise). This fixes #501 Signed-off-by: Johannes Schindelin <[email protected]>
