Due to bug 1522678, we will not be able to enable -fstack-clash-protection on armhfp.
Is there an upstream bug report/thread for this? It would be useful to at least make the appropriate ARM maintainers aware of the problem so if they're interested enough or see value in it they can deal with it and then it can be enabled later.
Can you please also make sure any arm specific bugs are linked against ARMTracker, I can't escalate unknown issues to contacts I have with in relevant organisations if I don't know they exist, and it's impossible to track all bugs.
This is unfortunate, but I don't think the lack of upstream support on armhfp should block this feature for all other architectures (including aarch64).
I think that's a reasonable compromise, if/when it gets fixed upstream we can always enable it then and it'll get applied with the next mass rebuild.
