bootx_init.c:88: undefined reference to `__stack_chk_fail_local'

[Christian Kujau]

Hi,

when compiling v4.10-rc2 with CONFIG_CC_STACKPROTECTOR_STRONG=y, the 
linker fails with:

I'm regularly compiling userspace programs with -fstack-protector w/o 
problems. I suspect it's either 6533b7c16ee5712041b4e324100550e02a9a5dda 
("powerpc: Initial stack protector (-fstack-protector) support") or 
902e06eb86cd62753974c249bd1dedae2825b430 ("powerpc/32: Change the stack 
protector canary value per task") or both but I haven't started the 
bisection yet.

Any other ideas?

Thanks,
Christian.
