Sure, tested and it works perfectly.

And just to be more complete, what happened yesterday was that I wrongly wrote
"CROSS_COMPILER=arm-linux-gnueabi-" and not "CROSS_COMPILE=arm-linux-gnueabi-".

Normally when I do that kind of mistake, I get a gcc error that my architecture
options (-mabi, ...) are not supported. This time I got the stackprotector
thing. The good part is that with your patch I see again the gcc warnings I was
used too :)

Cheers.
