Comment (by cypherpunks):

 Isn't it better just to upgrade nsis to 3.x version which Tom uses?
 Hardening on Windows is harmless for all programs, except ancient crap.
 But if nsis has problems with ASLR, why do you add `--enable-reloc-
 section`? As you removed SSP, why `-lssp`?
 `+# the nsis build system expect all toolchain binaries to be in the same`
