No, mudflap is not what I'm talking about. That's in GCC 4.0. It's a
heavyweight, featureful bounds checker. But in GCC 4.1, there is a new
option: -fstack-protector. It's by principle roughly the same as the
IBM ProPolice feature, although Richard reimplemented it from the
ground up.

This should be basically the same as what you're testing, except
already included in GCC.
