Yes, you're right, there is no patch.

I'm no expert with messing around with Makefiles, hence the hint to add
"-fno-stack-protection" to CFLAGS in all the Makefiles.

Sorry for that, i'm now busy with other projects. I'll return soon to linux
bios development as I need to finish the NOVA board support.
