Comment:

 Looks good to me. One thing we should change is:
 {{{
 -fstack-protector-all -Wstack-protector --param ssp-buffer-size=4
 }}}
 in the `CFLAGS` in `rbm.conf`. This line makes not much sense to me as
 there is no need to specify the buffer size if you are adding a canary to
 all functions. Mozilla is using `-fstack-protector-strong` and I believe
 we are doing the same for our Linux builds. Thus, let's go with that one
 for Windows, too?
