I really don't get this. Why would we build our binaries with two
different sets of options? I mean, our stuff is generally not too
performance critical, there are no CPU bound inner loops, hence which
compiler options to you have in mind that we shouldn't apply to all our
binaries anyway? What should be good for the "secure" binaries, that
shouldn't be good enough for the others too?
