Package: mkvmlinuz Version: 35 Severity: wishlist Tags: patch User: ubuntu-de...@lists.ubuntu.com Usertags: origin-ubuntu ubuntu-patch jaunty
Ubuntu uses -fstack-protector by default; this doesn't work for standalone code like mkvmlinuz (https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/53460) and so we need to explicitly compile with -fno-stack-protector. I know this isn't an immediate problem for Debian, but would you consider applying this patch anyway? It should be harmless. Thanks, -- Colin Watson [cjwat...@ubuntu.com]
