Is there a way to know during compilation how the compiler will behave, 
in order to select the correct method ?

I have drafted a new approach in the kernel that uses -0x7008(r2) 
instead of the global __stack_chk_guard, but how can I select the proper 
approach during kernel compilation in line with the selected GCC ?
