This is the right solution - it will fix us now and forever (or until V3, which ever comes first). but I don't claim to be a buildtarget hacker - if somebody can get a patch going, I'll test. This is what buildrom does to check for the flag (paraphrasing from the Make syntax): $(CC) -fno-stack-protector -xc /dev/null -o .$$.tmp > /dev/null 2>&1 If successful then the flag is valid. Error and its not. Again, hugs and kisses to the gcc guys for making this so easy for us.
