+ <para>Those switches allow GCC to compile programs with
+ some hardening security features (more information on those in
+ the <xref linkend="pie-ssp-info"/> in chapter 8). They are not
+ strictly needed at this stage, since the compiler will only produce
+ temporary executables. But it is cleaner to have the temporary
+ packages be as close as possible to the final ones.
