Comment(by hamish):
a guess- recent versions of Debian (and thus Ubuntu) packaging rules add
hardening flags to the compiler CFLAGS. I believe one of the results of
this is that it forces programs to crash instead of continuing on in a
memory-corrupted state. It also adds a number of warnings to the compile
log when it suspects something bad could happen.see https://wiki.debian.org/Hardening
This might be very useful. Do you have some exact suggestion what flags to
use?
On Ubuntu 12.04 I get:
$ dpkg-buildflags
CFLAGS=-g -O2 -fstack-protector --param=ssp-buffer-size=4 -Wformat
-Wformat-security -Werror=format-security
CPPFLAGS=-D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2
CXXFLAGS=-g -O2 -fstack-protector --param=ssp-buffer-size=4 -Wformat
-Wformat-security -Werror=format-security
FFLAGS=-g -O2
LDFLAGS=-Wl,-Bsymbolic-functions -Wl,-z,relro
So, I will put this into my configure script wrapper.

You only get those flags for a self-compile if you add them manually or if
you use the package build scripts.regards,
