Hi Andi,

Here is an extract from 10 randconfig builds:

$ grep STACKPROTECTOR_STRONG config-r*
config-r8735:CONFIG_CC_STACKPROTECTOR_STRONG=y
config-r8736:CONFIG_CC_STACKPROTECTOR_STRONG=y
config-r8737:# CONFIG_CC_STACKPROTECTOR_STRONG is not set
config-r8738:# CONFIG_CC_STACKPROTECTOR_STRONG is not set
config-r8739:CONFIG_CC_STACKPROTECTOR_STRONG=y
config-r8740:CONFIG_CC_STACKPROTECTOR_STRONG=y
config-r8741:CONFIG_CC_STACKPROTECTOR_STRONG=y
config-r8742:# CONFIG_CC_STACKPROTECTOR_STRONG is not set
config-r8743:# CONFIG_CC_STACKPROTECTOR_STRONG is not set
config-r8744:# CONFIG_CC_STACKPROTECTOR_STRONG is not set

but the captured output for each one says:

grep STACKPROTECTOR_STRONG  build*.out
build-r8735.out:/local/lnx/MM/mmotm-2014-0702-1507/Makefile:662: Cannot use CONFIG_CC_STACKPROTECTOR_STRONG: -fstack-protector-strong not supported by compiler
build-r8736.out:/local/lnx/MM/mmotm-2014-0702-1507/Makefile:662: Cannot use CONFIG_CC_STACKPROTECTOR_STRONG: -fstack-protector-strong not supported by compiler

build-r8741.out:/local/lnx/MM/mmotm-2014-0702-1507/Makefile:662: Cannot use CONFIG_CC_STACKPROTECTOR_STRONG: -fstack-protector-strong not supported by compiler
build-r8741.out:/local/lnx/MM/mmotm-2014-0702-1507/Makefile:662: Cannot use CONFIG_CC_STACKPROTECTOR_STRONG: -fstack-protector-strong not supported by compiler

then the build goes on to produce many errors like this one:

  CC      init/do_mounts.o
gcc: error: unrecognized command line option '-fstack-protector-strong'

Can you explain this, please?  or even better yet, fix it.

thanks,
