The kernel solution to this uses an internal kernel variables to prefix flags for the linker, the solution I provided is supposed to do that but perhaps for some older linker it doesn't do that, I'm afraid that since we don't have the internal variable solution and that porting it would be hard (probably pointless) we'll have to work around this then as mimicking that won't be easy Can you try a solution on the backport/kconf/Makefile that see's if lsb_release is available and use that for older releases of Ubuntu? I'd try it but since you have the system I figure it'd be easier.
