It appears that Ubuntu's Edgy Eft (the development tree) now contains
"Stack Smashing Protection" enabled by default. I found a web page
that states that -fno-stack-protector can be used to disable this
functionality. Interestingly, another web page stated that SSP has
been enabled in Redhat compilers for a long time and is now also
enabled in Debian SID. Perhaps -fno-stack-protector should be added
to the kernel build be default?
