Description

### Describe the enhancement requested

Following the release of the Compiler Options Hardening Guide for C and C++ by the Open Source Security Foundation, we should consider hardening our compiler/linker options where doing so doesn't significantly impede performance:

This would be especially important for the binaries we issue ourselves, such as Python wheels.
