It's definitely not a good idea. We already had to disable the broken longjmp checks that were causing crashes, and also to turn off some warnings because Fortify causes spurious ones. Now it looks like we need to disable the strcpy checks too. And with all the trouble it gave us, I have never seen it catch any real problem. I'm seriously considering turning it off globally in configure.
