Just FYI:

According to [1] the following clang compiler flags are available:

-mstack-protector-guard-offset=<arg>
Use the given offset for addressing the stack-protector guard

-mstack-protector-guard-reg=<arg>
Use the given reg for addressing the stack-protector guard

-mstack-protector-guard=<arg>
Use the given guard (global, tls) for addressing the stack-protector guard

Looks like -mstack-protector-guard-symbol=<arg> is not (yet) available.
