Enhance security during the build process:
* The '-fstack-protector' flag enables stack protection for preventing
buffer overflow vulnerabilities. If an attempt is made to overflow the
buffer, the program will terminate, thus protecting the integrity of
the stack.
* The '-Wl,-z,relro,-z,now' linker flag enables Read-only Relocations
(RELRO), a feature that helps harden the binary against certain types
of exploits, particularly those that involve overwriting the Global
Offset Table (GOT).
* This flag is only set for Linux builds, due to compatibility issues
with apple-clang.
* The `relro` option makes certain sections of memory read-only after
initialization to prevent them from being overwritten, while `now`
ensures that all dynamic symbols are resolved immediately on program
start, reducing the window of opportunity for attacks.
