That doesn't tell you all that much since you will have to wait for some
unfavorable address space layout constellation to appear for the problem
to announce itself and then you need someone to recognize the reason and
report it back to you.  I tend to see this only on 32bit on my
development machine where I have a large amount of dependencies
installed.  After a reboot the problem will move somewhere else, which
means that you will need to find another reproducer.

In other words, that should be the default then since you can't know if
it works otherwise.  Also, I really don't think we should need to change
all toolchains to use these options just in order to produce working
executables.  If "safer" means "it doesn't work", then there are clearly
easier ways to get there.
