Hi Kees,

Today my linux-next build broke for the pxa architecture.
My specific setup is :
- ARCH=arm make pxa_defconfig; ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=arm-linux-gnueabi- make
- my compiler is:
rj@belgarion:~/mio_linux/kernel$ arm-linux-gnueabi-gcc --version
arm-linux-gnueabi-gcc (Debian 6.3.0-18) 6.3.0 20170516

And the error message is :
rj@belgarion:~/mio_linux/kernel$ make -j 4
CHK include/config/kernel.release
CONFIG_CC_STACKPROTECTOR_AUTO: Compiler does not support any known stack-protector
Cannot use CONFIG_CC_STACKPROTECTOR_AUTO: not supported by compiler
Makefile:1097: recipe for target 'prepare-compiler-check' failed
make: *** [prepare-compiler-check] Error 1
make: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs....
make: *** wait: No child processes. Stop.


Is this expected, as I was under the impression my compiler was not that
outdated ...

Cheers.
