Compile glibc with -fstack-protector (was Re: [BZ #7064] Put vm86into libc.a)

(As an aside, I have patches for full compilation of all of glibc bar
ld.so with -fstack-protector-all which I can update for glibc trunk if
you wish. They have found one bug in glibc itself -- since fixed -- but
that didn't stop them being rejected without comment the one and only
time I tried to submit them, years ago. In keeping with the new spirit
of glasnost I can resubmit if you wish.)
There's a patch set attached to
http://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=7065
Your change contains two different changes:
* Supporting stack-protector
* A different implementation of chk_fail function
I would only add the first one - and looking at the patch, it looks
straight forward.
The question to the rest of the maintainers: Do we want this? Please
read the bug for details,
Andreas
