Aha, so that's why others pass it. I used
gcc-x86_64-has-stack-protector.sh as an example to slap that one
together.

Below new version with proper commit message this time.

Right, or you can comment out the asm("") in the script and then it
matches the "jmp" and thus fails the build. As it should be.

Thx.

Subject: [PATCH] x86: Check whether the compiler is sane
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Add a check script to verify whether the compiler is sane. This is
x86-only for now and checks one thing only but should be useful for more
checks in the future.
