have you ever considered to google them?

"-D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2 -fstack-protector --param=ssp-buffer-size=4" are
default for ANY package of most linux-distributions since years for
security reasons

and for a hardening build you enable "-fPIC -fPIE -fstack-protector-all"
too as also "-Wl,-z,now -Wl,-z,relro" as LDFLAGS

yes, they affect performance, but security first
