With gcc-4.8 an earlier, I get build failure:

cc1: error: unrecognized command line option "-mstack-protector-guard=tls"

With gcc-4.9 and gcc-5, I get this output:

        .file   ""
        .text
        .globl  foo
        .type   foo, @function

        movq    %rsp, %rbp

        movq    %rax, -8(%rbp)
