Crosscompiling on a Fedora 9 machine running gcc 4.3.0 as its host compiler and gcc 3.4.6 for the mips-linux target results in the following build error: $ make malta_defconfig $ make cc1: error: unrecognized command line option "-fno-stack-protector" scripts/kconfig/conf -s arch/mips/Kconfig cc1: error: unrecognized command line option "-fno-stack-protector" The arch Makefile is included too late so the host compiler is feature tested, not the crosscompiler as intended and thus the Makefile applies adds -fno-stack-protector to crosscompiler's flags which fails for gcc 3.4.6. The bug was introduced by e06b8b98da071f7dd78fb7822991694288047df0 in 2.6.25; 35bb5b1e0e84cfa1a8906f7e6a77f391ff315791 did add more flags testing before the arch Makefile inclusion.

Thank you! Michael Schmitz also saw this problem, but we never found what caused it...
