To test bpo-32375, I just recompiled the master branch of Python twice using these flags:

* -D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2 -Og
* -D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2 -O3

I got a few warnings, the same that I get without FORTIFY SOURCE.

Using -D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2 -O3, I get one warning, but it's no longer from getpath.c:

In file included from /usr/include/string.h:494,
                 from ./Include/Python.h:30,
                 from /home/vstinner/python/master/Modules/socketmodule.c:103:
In function ‘memset’,
    inlined from ‘getsockaddrarg’ at /home/vstinner/python/master/Modules/socketmodule.c:2331:9,
    inlined from ‘sock_bind’ at /home/vstinner/python/master/Modules/socketmodule.c:3113:10:
/usr/include/bits/string_fortified.h:71:10: warning: ‘__builtin_memset’ offset [17, 88] from the object at ‘addrbuf’ is out of the bounds of referenced subobject ‘sa’ with type ‘struct sockaddr’ at offset 0 [-Warray-bounds]
   71 |   return __builtin___memset_chk (__dest, __ch, __len, __bos0 (__dest));
      |          ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The warning comes from the code:

    case AF_ALG:
        ...
        struct sockaddr_alg *sa;
        sa = (struct sockaddr_alg *)addr_ret;
        memset(sa, 0, sizeof(*sa));

called from:

static PyObject *
sock_bind(PySocketSockObject *s, PyObject *addro)
{
    sock_addr_t addrbuf;
    int addrlen;
    int res;

    if (!getsockaddrarg(s, addro, SAS2SA(&addrbuf), &addrlen, "bind")) {
        return NULL;
    }

Similar when building Python on Fedora 30 (GCC version 9.2.1) with gcc -O3:

In function ‘getsockaddrarg’,
    inlined from ‘sock_bind’ at /home/vstinner/python/master/Modules/socketmodule.c:3113:10:

The failures on FreeBSD are:

/usr/home/buildbot/python/3.x.koobs-freebsd10.nondebug/build/Modules/socketmodule.c:1931:50: error: no member named 'bt_l2' in 'union sock_addr'
            struct sockaddr_l2 *addr = &addrbuf->bt_l2;

                                         ~~~~~~~  ^
3 errors generated.

This is likely due to the fact that those fields are protected by:

typedef union sock_addr {
#ifdef HAVE_BLUETOOTH_BLUETOOTH_H
    struct sockaddr_l2 bt_l2;
    struct sockaddr_rc bt_rc;
    struct sockaddr_sco bt_sco;
    struct sockaddr_hci bt_hci;
#elif defined(MS_WINDOWS)
}

and in those machines HAVE_BLUETOOTH_BLUETOOTH_H is absent.

PR 16738 fixes the FreeBSD buildbots by correctly handling the Bluetooth L2CAP socket structure in FreeBSD if only bluetooth.h is available. Check out https://man.cx/ng_btsocket(4) for example for more info in the ng_btsocket protocol for FreeBSD.

I close the issue.

I planned to backport the change to 3.8, but 3.8.0 final is supposed to be released today. I prefer to avoid putting a last minute regression on some platforms like DragonflyBSD in 3.8. Backporting the change is not strictly required, it's just a compiler warning, it's a false alarm, and it's only when building with _FORTIFY_SOURCE defined.
