Without the change unnethack startup crashes as:

which corresponds to gcc warning:

../win/curses/cursmisc.c:275:5: warning: '__builtin___strcpy_chk' writing one too many bytes into a region of a size that depends on 'strlen' [-Wstringop-overflow=]
  275 |     strcpy(substr, str);
      |     ^

I did not find a single small upstream change that fixes it. Let's disable fortify3 until next release.

Closes: #292113
