you are using ubuntu which has a compiler that adds -fstack-protector
implicitly to the compiler options, yet you don't have a kernel that
provides this infrastructure ;)
(I have code for that but it's not merged yet, it's pending one gcc
patch to get merged upstream)
in the mean time.. I'm pretty sure Sam sent a patch to Linus that adds
-fno-stack-protector...
