The hardened toolchain is not anything folks would look at on their own usually. Adding it to ct-ng would give it more exposure and more folks may tend to try it out. We really need to get to a place where things get more secure for everybody.
We'll see when I actually get a chance to look into writing a patch for this...
After looking into this a bit more, I think I get it now, and I would like to see this get into crosstool-ng.
It seems to me that the patch directory needs to be refactored. I would suggest something like:
patches/ <architecture>/ <program>/ <version>/ <patch>.patch
Where one of the "architecture"s would be "any" and another would be "security", besides just x86, powerpc, arm, etc...
This makes sense, because my x86 toolchain doesn't need patches that are specific to powerpc, and if the CT_TOOLCHAIN_HARDENING is enabled, it will apply patches from "security". Patches that would be applied regardless of architecture would go in "any".
