+Subject: [PATCH] configure.ac: fix stack protector test
+
+gcc does not generate stack protection check code for function that does not
+use its stack. Some toolchain (most notable uClibc based) accept the
+-fstack-protector option, but don't provide libssp. The current test will
+incorrectly identify this case, leading to link failures like:
+
+ipmiutil.o: In function `main':
+ipmiutil.c:(.text.startup+0x1c0): undefined reference to
+`__stack_chk_fail_local'
+ialarms.o: In function `get_alarms_picmg':
+ialarms.c:(.text+0x1c5): undefined reference to `__stack_chk_fail_local'
+ialarms.o: In function `.L46':
+ialarms.c:(.text+0x362): undefined reference to `__stack_chk_fail_local'
+ialarms.o: In function `get_enc_leds':
+ialarms.c:(.text+0x45f): undefined reference to `__stack_chk_fail_local'
+
+Add stack usage code to the test to correctly identify missing libssp.
+
+Patch status: sent upstream
