[PATCH] Test -fstack-protector-all compiler option for inclusion in CFLAGS

[Michael Cree]

Some architectures (e.g. Alpha) do not support the -fstack-protector-all
compiler option and the use of the option with -Werror causes the compiler
to abort.  Test that the compiler supports -fstack-protector-all before
inclusion in CFLAGS.
