one question (since I don't have an ubuntu system on my desk right now)

if you do

make V=1 kernel/panic.o

(after deleting that file if needed), can you check that -fstack-protector-all is the last
stack protector option we explicitly give to gcc ?
(anything else is distro special which we unfortunately cannot fix.. but maybe we can detect)
