there is also a post in the past. The fact ist that the main part of the
coblat stuff is meanwhile compiled with a stackguard enabled gcc
but they lack in giving hem to us. Once a while ago I got a stackguard
gcc for a RedHat 6.2 System whichs goes fine with the Cobalt RaQ4. To
prevent freaking my system I catched the original Cobalt gcc RPM. After
succesfully compiling I could now swith back.
Long time both versions exists near  each other and only a Symlink in
/usr/bin/gcc points to /usr/sg/lib/gcc-lib or /usr/lib/gcc-lib

Maybe I should still have the RPM anywhere ...

Thank you Goetz. I will try to find some time to go back and look at the archives for this. Besides a brief visit to the gcc stackguard website:
http://immunix.org/
I haven't had any time to research further. That is my main problem, just no time to research stuff since I am handling several other projects as well. I may have to figure out a different way to do this until I have time to look into protecting the Raq supplied gcc while installing the stackguard one. Let me know if you find the RPM Looking on the above site, it does say they sell a Stackguarded Red Hat 6.2 w/ Stackguard 2.0 compiler, which has what looks like might be gcc-2.7.3 or something similar whereas their latest is gcc-2.96-113_SGb1.src.rpm. Not sure if this rings any bells.

Just not enough time in a day to learn all this.
