yes, it is companies and organizations that ship distros and turn on
switches that require things like stack checking, and hence break
linuxbios builds on certain distros. They don't seem to realize that
all the world is NOT an application ...

It's nothing you (or we) are doing; it is churn in the gcc universe,
and the distro guys just don't think these things through. It's
frustrating.

Try the  -fno-stack-protector Corey mentioned.
