first of all i would like to thank you for adding support for adding support for staged install as suggested in issue #61.
binaries produced by current Makefile lack common security mitigation such as RELRO as recommended by major linux distribution including debian
currently distros are patching the
Makefile.in
with requisite flags for hardening the spaln binaries. this pull request, based on debian-med project's patches, adds the aforementioned flags to `Makefile.in' so the packagers can pass appropriate hardening option during build time.
