[libvirt] [PATCH] aarch64: Disable -fstack-protector.

2014-01-01 Thread Richard W.M. Jones
From: Richard W.M. Jones rjo...@redhat.com

I'm using gcc-4.8.2-7.fc21.aarch64 which does not appear to support
this option.

ACK.  It would be nicer to figure out why gl_WARN_ADD isn't able to flag
this warning as broken for your setup in the first place, but as that's
probably more of a task for gnulib, I'm okay with this patch in the
meantime.

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.
