+          some hardening security features (more information on those in
+          the <xref linkend="pie-ssp-info"/> in chapter 8). They are not
+          strictly needed at this stage, since the compiler will only produce
+          temporary executables. But it is cleaner to have the temporary
+          packages be as close as possible to the final ones.
