Took me ages of fucking around to get bitlbee to compile with full RELRO.
In the end I had to hack the makefile.
At line 182 (the line where it gets linked) I had to add the following:
180 $(OUTFILE): $(objects) $(subdirs) 181 @echo '*' Linking $(OUTFILE) 182 @$(CC) $(objects) $(subdirobjs) *-march=native -O2 -fstack-protector-all -fpic -pipe -Wl,-z,relro,-z,now* -o $(OUTFILE) $(LDFLAGS_BITLBEE) $(LFLAGS) $(EFLAGS)
