OK, so with that applied to v4.10-rc4, compilation still fails with GCC 
4.9.2 and CC_STACKPROTECTOR_STRONG=y, see below. But it compiles just fine 
with CC_STACKPROTECTOR_REGULAR=y and boots to!

Cross-compiling the same with GCC 5.2.0 works, even for 
CC_STACKPROTECTOR_STRONG=y and the system boots just fine.

So, with that limitation, feel free to add:

Thanks for the fix!
Christian.
