Test failure on OS X, cc: error: unrecognized command line option ‘-fstack-protector-strong’

quickly failed to install using cpanm via the error in title. Switching over to manual install (cpanm --look Devel::NYTProf), the tests ran successfully after removing the '-fstack-protector-strong' flag from the Makefile.

There is no program called quickly within the Devel-NYTProf distribution (at least as of version 6.07, released this morning). Nor does any library by that name appear to be dependent upon Devel-NYTProf.

Can you clarify?

Thank you very much.

The string stack-protector does not occur in Makefile.PL -- at least not as of today's master branch at 72a8403. So -fstack-protector-strong is being inserted into Makefile by the normal perl/ExtUtils-MakeMaker processes. I don't see that there's anything we can do within the Devel-NYTProf code base about that.
