Hi,  
I want to get a highly optimized and hardened build of nginx using gcc  
for  
running on Linux 2.6 kernel. What are the compile time options  
recommended  
for this purpose?  
Specifically what --with-cc-opt, ld-opt etc should I pass? -O3,  
FORTIFY\_SOURCE, -fpie, -pie etc?

Thanks,  
Vinay
