[torquedev] Useful GCC flags for security/error catching

[Chris Samuel]

The Ubuntu Wiki has a useful page on GCC flags that
are used by default to build there packages.  These
are of interest as they relate to catching things
like smashing the stack and unchecked return values,
etc..

 https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CompilerFlags

FWIW 2.3.7 compiles cleanly when adding:

 -fstack-protector -Wformat -Wformat-security -DFORTIFY_SOURCE=2

to the standard CFLAGS (which is nice!).

cheers,
Chris
