Well ... gl_WARN_ADD is a horrible mess of m4 and autoconf macros so
it's hard to understand exactly how it works.  However it is only
*specified* to work on warnings (-Wstack-protector) not on feature
flags (-fstack-protector).  So it seems like a mistake that libvirt's
m4 module calls gl_WARN_ADD with all the flags.

Anyway I've pushed this now, thanks.

Obviously this is a commit that we'll revert when gcc is fixed/enhanced!

Rich.
