The cross compiler should produce the same results as the native compiler.
Since hardening is enabled there, it should be enabled in the
cross-compiler too.

This looks like a specific problem with the glibc build. IIRC, fortify was
explicitly disabled for glibc builds in Ubuntu. doko would know more.
