NetBSD princess 10.99.14 NetBSD 10.99.14 (WSFBPWR) #465: Wed Jul  2 10:28:33 AEST 2025  build@microrusty:/home/build/mac68k-sf/sys/arch/mac68k/compile/WSFBPWR mac68k
>Description:
Packages and X11 sets built with SSP enabled which is the default on mac68k and I'm guessing other m68k platforms break with various SIGABRT due to ssp and possible mis-compilation of sources.

If you build tools & release with ssp X will not start (originally I thought this was just limited to Xfont libs) and same for some packages ie Motif and x11/tinyx-wscons.
>How-To-Repeat:
Try to start X with the default ssp setting on mac68k or other m68k platforms.
>Fix:
I believe the preferred solution is to disable ssp for NetBSD m68k platforms and packages.  Hopefully before the next release and pkgsrc quarterly.

 Aren't those bugs in X or the pkgs, which should be fixed instead?
 Some X stuff seems to work fine (I used rxvt on amiga very recentish,
 but did not start an X server).

 Or is this a compiler bug that should be analyzed in more detail?

 X.org server in NetBSD 10.1 release binaries works on LC630 and LUNA,
 and Xsun server in 10.1 and -current also works on Sun 3/60 here.

 Agreed! It was really a suggestion as a stop-gap measure before -11.

 So far I've adressed the issue with libXfont and X11 works with SSP enabled.

 I just have to rebuild my small set of packages again with ssp to see if all 
 is well.  If it is I'm happy to close the PR.


 Best regards,

 Nat

 Thanks for testing this.

 I've since fixed the issue with libXfont and tinyx-wscons works as expected 
 with SSP enabled.

 Best regards,

 Nat
