The GCC stackprotector option is a no-go for me, and causes 100% repeatable 
fatal oopses on boot with my x86_64 box.

This is not new to 2.6.25-mm1 - but was also present in 2.6.24-rc8-mm2 
(2.6.24-rc8-mm1 was good, but this option didn't exist then).

It seems that enabling the stackprotector option:

Rebooting in 30 seconds..
----------

gcc version 4.2.3 (Gentoo 4.2.3 p1.0)

I have put the config and full dmesg of 2.6.25-mm1 both working and not working, 
up at http://www.reub.net/files/kernel/2.6.25-mm1/

It is the exact same oops with 2.6.24-rc8-mm1.
