Hi Petr,

The fortify headers are preventing some of these warnings, I see them
when compiling without fortify header or when using glibc.

I started to look into this problem, but it looks more complicated to
change the fortify headers in a way, that the compile time buffer
overflow detection still works like expected for all functions which are
supported by gcc.

Please also use a toolchian with glibc when compiling in CI.
