'--enable-cet'
Enable Intel Control-flow Enforcement Technology (CET) support.
When the GNU C Library is built with '--enable-cet', the resulting
library is protected with indirect branch tracking (IBT) and shadow
stack (SHSTK). When CET is enabled, the GNU C Library is
compatible with all existing executables and shared libraries.
This feature is currently supported on i386, x86_64 and x32 with
GCC 8 and binutils 2.29 or later. Note that when CET is enabled,
the GNU C Library requires CPUs capable of multi-byte NOPs, like
x86-64 processors as well as Intel Pentium Pro or newer.
'--disable-profile'
Don't build libraries with profiling information. You may want to
use this option if you don't plan to do profiling.

Major new features:
* The GNU C Library can now be compiled with support for Intel CET, AKA
Intel Control-flow Enforcement Technology. When the library is built
with --enable-cet, the resulting glibc is protected with indirect

* The GNU C Library now has correct support for ABSOLUTE symbols
(SHN_ABS-relative symbols). Previously such ABSOLUTE symbols were
relocated incorrectly or in some cases discarded. The GNU linker can
