On Ubuntu, it is coming from lib/lib.a. It so happens that "make clean" does not descend into lib/ and remove *.o and lib.a. So, I added "-fno-stack-protector" to top level Makefile, ran "make clean" followed by make and it didn't help because I continuesd to use the old lib.a. Now that I have realized it, I added "(cd lib; rm -f *.o lib.a)" to the clean target in toplevel Makefile and ran a "make clean". After this lib/Makefile inherited -fno-stack-protector in CFLAGS from Make.rules and everything builds correctly now. -- Khalid Aziz <[email protected]> -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [email protected] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
