Thanks for the responding. I just learned that stack protector is
trying to prevent against buffer overflow/stack-corruption based
attacks. It might not be a big issue. A crack-aware program shall
simply avoid this module.

And yes I believe it is complex that how stack protector have
influence on this Perl module. But I think this option is just
necessary. The Makefile.PL explicitly applies -fno-stack-protector
option on non-MSVC compilers with 64bit target:
