+      <p>As part of this year's Google Summer of Code, we have been
+	adding support for the <tt>_FORTIFY_SOURCE</tt> extension to
+	<tt>libc</tt>.  This extension uses the GCC
+	<tt>builtin_object_size</tt> to prevent buffer overflows on
+	existing code.  The compiler and the C library can effectively
+	detect a set of common programming mistakes.</p>
+
+      <p>The current status is that a mixed version of the NetBSD and
+	Android implementations has been ported and is currently
+	undergoing heavy testing.  On &os;, this code has already
+	found two small bugs.  On the other hand, the &os; codebase
+	is extremely useful to test the framework.</p>
