+dnl Check for silly hacked compilers inserting -fstack-protector.
+dnl This breaks badly for the early startup code we compile, since
+dnl the compiled code can refer to a magic machine-dependent location
+dnl for the canary value before we have sufficient setup for that to
+dnl work. It's also questionable to build all of libc with this flag
+dnl even when you're doing that for most applications you build, since
+dnl libc's code is so heavily-used and performance-sensitive. If we
+dnl ever really want to make that work, it should be enabled explicitly
+dnl in the libc build, not inherited from implicit compiler settings.
