These ones make sense, it might be a good idea to disable it for all
the firmware and u-boot packages, maybe even for xenkernel.

/usr/pkgsrc/wip/arm-trusted-firmware-sun50i_a64-crust/Makefile:FORTIFY_SUPPORTED=       no
/usr/pkgsrc/sysutils/grub2/Makefile:FORTIFY_SUPPORTED=  no
/usr/pkgsrc/sysutils/memtestplus/Makefile:FORTIFY_SUPPORTED=    no

I suppose someone should try building these and either remove the flag
or document why it needs to be there.

/usr/pkgsrc/editors/vim-share/Makefile.common:FORTIFY_SUPPORTED=        no
/usr/pkgsrc/games/moria/Makefile:FORTIFY_SUPPORTED=     no
/usr/pkgsrc/mail/hypermail/Makefile:FORTIFY_SUPPORTED=  no
/usr/pkgsrc/www/ap-php/Makefile:FORTIFY_SUPPORTED=      no

I guess there is no rush for this with the freeze in effect.
