Dear Maintainer,

The hardening flags are missing for contrib/ because they are
ignored by the build system.

The attached patch fixes the issue.

To check if all flags were correctly enabled you can use
`hardening-check` from the hardening-includes package and check
the build log (hardening-check doesn't catch everything):

    $ hardening-check /usr/lib/proftpd/mod_wrap.so /usr/lib/proftpd/mod_wrap2_sql.so /usr/lib/proftpd/mod_wrap2_file.so /usr/lib/proftpd/mod_wrap2.so ...
    /usr/lib/proftpd/mod_wrap.so:
     Position Independent Executable: no, regular shared library (ignored)
     Stack protected: yes
     Fortify Source functions: unknown, no protectable libc functions used
     Read-only relocations: yes
     Immediate binding: no not found!
    /usr/lib/proftpd/mod_wrap2_sql.so:
     Position Independent Executable: no, regular shared library (ignored)
     Stack protected: no, not found!
     Fortify Source functions: unknown, no protectable libc functions used
     Read-only relocations: yes
     Immediate binding: no not found!
    /usr/lib/proftpd/mod_wrap2_file.so:
     Position Independent Executable: no, regular shared library (ignored)
     Stack protected: yes
     Fortify Source functions: unknown, no protectable libc functions used
     Read-only relocations: yes
     Immediate binding: no not found!
    /usr/lib/proftpd/mod_wrap2.so:
     Position Independent Executable: no, regular shared library (ignored)
     Stack protected: yes
     Fortify Source functions: yes
     Read-only relocations: yes
     Immediate binding: no not found!
    ...

(Position Independent Executable and Immediate binding is not
enabled by default.)

Use find -type f \( -executable -o -name \*.so\* \) -exec
hardening-check {} + on the build result to check all files.

Regards,
Simon
