            Bug ID: 19816
           Summary: [PATCH] Fix stack protector detection.
           Product: glibc
           Version: unspecified
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: build

0001-Fix-stack-protector-detection.patch

I use a cross compiling gcc 6 (host amd64 -> target i686) that defaults
to -fstack-protector-strong and it is failing the configure check:

checking whether i686-pc-linux-gnu-gcc implicitly enables -fstack-protector...
no

The native version does it correctly:

checking whether x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-gcc implicitly enables
-fstack-protector... yes

So i looked into it and i found the following chunk in gcc
(gcc/config/i386/i386.c):

/* For 32-bit code we can save PIC register setup by using
   __stack_chk_fail_local hidden function instead of calling
   __stack_chk_fail directly.  64-bit code doesn't need to setup any PIC
   register, so it is better to call __stack_chk_fail directly.  */

So we need to check for __stack_chk_fail_local too, otherwise it causes
errors during the building of glibc like:

elf/librtld.os: In function `lookup_doit':
elf/rtld.c:509: undefined reference to `__stack_chk_fail_local'

(Attached is a patch to fix it with the same info in it)
