the linker (singular) have (plural) also enabled ...

Source string added
In the past, there was Hardened LFS where gcc (a much older version) was forced to use hardening (with options to turn some of it off on a per-package basis). The current LFS and BLFS books are carrying forward a part of its spirit by enabling PIE (<option>-fPIE -pie</option>) and SSP (<option>-fstack-protector-strong</option>) as the defaults for GCC and clang. And, the linker (<command>ld</command>) have also enabled <option>-Wl,-z,relro</option> which makes a part of the Global Offset Table (GOT) immutable, by default since Binutils 2.27. What is being covered here is different - first you have to make sure that the package is indeed using your added flags and not over-riding them.

Source string added
Note that the <option>-j</option> switches only limits the parallel jobs started by <command>make</command> or <command>ninja</command>, but each job may still spawn its own processes or threads. For example, some tests of packages can spawn multiple threads for testing thread safety properties. There is no generic way for the building system to know the number of processes or threads spawned by a job. So generally we should not consider the value passed with <option>-j</option> a hard limit of the number of logical cores to use. Read <xref linkend='build-in-cgroup'/> if you want to set such a hard limit.

Source string added
<emphasis>Recommended</emphasis> means that BLFS strongly suggests this package is installed first (except if said to be <quote>runtime,</quote> see below) for a clean and trouble-free build, that won't have issues either during the build process, or at run-time. The instructions in the book assume these packages are installed. In many cases, if a recommended dependency (not just <quote>runtime</quote>) is not installed, the built package may lack some important functionalities (for example, a video player may be only able to play audio). Sometimes, it's needed to modify the book instructions to disable those important functionalities. In other cases, the build system of the package may build a copy of the dependency (often outdated and sometimes with known security vulnerabilities) shipped in the source tree, or may be downloaded from the Internet during the build process. This increases build time and disk usage. This could potentially cause other problems. If a recommended dependency is said to be <quote>runtime,</quote> it means that BLFS strongly suggests that this dependency is installed before using the package, for getting full functionality.

Source string added
With <phrase revision='systemd'> <parameter>MemoryHigh=8G</parameter>, </phrase> <phrase revision='sysv'> <literal>8589934592</literal> (the output of <userinput>bc -e '8*2^30'</userinput>, 2^30 represents 2<superscript>30</superscript>, i.e. a Gigabyte) in the <filename>memory.high</filename> entry, </phrase> a soft limit of memory usage is set. If the processes in the cgroup (<command>make</command> and all the descendants of it) uses more than 8 GB of system memory in total, the kernel will throttle down the processes and try to reclaim the system memory from them. But they can still use more than 8 GB of system memory. If you want to make a hard limit instead, replace <phrase revision='systemd'> <parameter>MemoryHigh</parameter> with <parameter>MemoryMax</parameter>. </phrase> <phrase revision='sysv'> <filename>memory.high</filename> with <filename>memory.max</filename>. </phrase> But doing so will cause the processes killed if 8 GB is not enough for them.

You may also encounter the so-called <quote>userspace retpoline</quote> (<option>-mindirect-branch=thunk</option> etc.) which is the equivalent of the spectre mitigations applied to the linux kernel in late 2018. The kernel mitigations caused a lot of complaints about lost performance, if you have a production server you might wish to consider testing that, along with the other available options, to see if performance is still sufficient.

Source string added
In GCC 14, the option <option>-fhardened</option> is a shorthand to enable all the hardening options mentioned above. It sets <option>-D _FORTIFY_SOURCE=3</option> instead of <option>-D _FORTIFY_SOURCE=2</option>.

Source string added
<option>-fcf-protection=full</option>: utilizes Intel and AMD CET technology to limit the target addresses of control-flow transfer instructions. To make it really effective for a package, all packages providing a shared library for the package to use must be built with this option, as well as that package itself, Glibc must be configured with the <option>--enable-cet</option> option enabled, and the system must run on Intel Tiger Lake or newer, or AMD Zen 3 or newer. If the criteria is not met the program compiled with this option will still run, but not really protected by CET.

<option>-ftrivial-auto-var-init=zero</option>: initializes some variables by filling zero bytes if they are not initialized by other means.

<option>-fstack-clash-protection</option>: prevents the attacker from using an offset large enough and not adequately checked to jump over the stack guard page placed by the kernel and the stack canary placed by <option>-fstack-protector=strong</option>, and modify the stack from a heap address, or vice versa.
