Having "CFLAGS=-g -O -pipe -fstack-protector" for all compilations I see
one serious thing - fetch compiled with stack protector makes fetch
unusable for most ftp sites - remote size being always -1 and most of
the time file is actually transferred yet recognized as size -1.
See example of installing ncftp3 from ports:
masina# cd ncftp3/
masina# make install clean
Use INSTALL_AS_NCFTP3=yes to install ncftp v3 as /usr/local/bin/ncftp3
=> ncftp-3.1.8-src.tar.bz2 doesn't seem to exist in /usr/ports/distfiles/.
=> Attempting to fetch from ftp://ftp.ncftp.com/ncftp/.
Receiving ncftp-3.1.8-src.tar.bz2 (401522 bytes): 0%
0 bytes transferred in 0.0 seconds (0.00 Bps)
fetch: ncftp-3.1.8-src.tar.bz2 appears to be truncated: -1/401522 bytes
=> Attempting to fetch from
ftp://ftp.FreeBSD.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/distfiles/.
fetch: ncftp-3.1.8-src.tar.bz2: local modification time does not match
remote
=> Couldn't fetch it - please try to retrieve this
=> port manually into /usr/ports/distfiles/ and try again.
*** Error code 1
Stop in /usr/ports/ftp/ncftp3.
Few moments later after rebuilding /usr/bin/fetch WITHOUT -fstack-protector:
