Looks like I can generate similar bad code with the F26 version of
gcc, it's just not enabled by default.

So all gentoo did was change the default options.

I suspect we should just add a

    KBUILD_CFLAGS  += $(call cc-option,-fno-stack-check,)

somewhere to the main Makefile, just to make sure.

Maybe like the appended?

Toralf, Alexander, does this make things JustWork(tm) for you?
