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.
