Similar to #29695, and in the same vein of explicitly configuring hardening options in our release toolchain. See https://gcc.gnu.org/install/configure.html: > Enable building target run-time libraries with control-flow instrumentation, > see `-fcf-protection option`. When --enable-cet is specified target > libraries are configured to add `-fcf-protection` and, if needed, > other target specific options to a set of building options. > `--enable-cet=auto` is default. CET is enabled on Linux/x86 if target > binutils supports Intel CET instructions and disabled otherwise. > In this case, the target libraries are configured to get additional > `-fcf-protection` option.
