I wrote a patch that integrates ProPolice/SSP into FreeBSD, one step
further than it has been realized so far.

This looks very neat.

Could you remind me what, if any, ABI issues might exist? I'm familiar
with the ideas behind ProPolice, but not the implementation. Can I use
SSP-compied libraries with pre-SSP applications? Can I use post-SSP
applications with pre-SSP binaries?

Last time I tried it (several years ago, when I maintained my own
local patch for world integration), backwards binary compatibility was
an issue, i.e. it was possible to hose your system when trying to
revert the changes (since all rebuilt binaries all depend on symbols
no longer provided in libc).
