PROBLEM: GCC version 6.2.0 20161005 (Ubuntu 6.2.0-5ubuntu12) breaks kernel build if stack protection is enabled

GCC version 6.2.0 20161005 (Ubuntu 6.2.0-5ubuntu12) breaks kernel
build if stack protection is enabled

When compiling the kernel with GCC 6.2.0 (Ubuntu 6.2.0-5ubuntu12) the
following output is produced:

 > make -j `getconf _NPROCESSORS_ONLN`
CHK     include/config/kernel.release
make clean
^CMakefile:1516: recipe for target 'clean' failed
make[2]: *** [clean] Interrupt
scripts/package/Makefile:91: recipe for target 'deb-pkg' failed
make[1]: *** [deb-pkg] Interrupt
Makefile:1310: recipe for target 'deb-pkg' failed
make: *** [deb-pkg] Interrupt
