[patch core/stackprotector] stackprotector: Fix build when compiler lacks support

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



8779657d29c0 ("stackprotector: Introduce CONFIG_CC_STACKPROTECTOR_STRONG") 
causes the build to break when the compiler doesn't support 
-fstack-protector-strong:

	cc1: error: unrecognized command line option ‘-fstack-protector-strong’
	cc1: error: unrecognized command line option ‘-fstack-protector-strong’

with at least gcc 4.6.3.

Instead of breaking the build, just warn of the failure and disable the 
feature.
